RE: Public Hearing to Consider the Continuation of the Assessments for Fiscal Year 2023-24 for the Landscaping & Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Assessment; Adoption of Resolution No. 23-56 Approving the Engineer’s Report, Confirming the Diagram and Assessment, and Ordering the Continuation of Assessments for Fiscal Year 2023-24

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Hold a public hearing for the proposed continuation of the assessments for the Landscaping & Lighting District No. 2- Greenhorn Creek Assessment (District), in order to receive any public input on the proposed continuation of the assessments, approve the proposed assessment budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 and the services and improvements funded by the assessments fund, and any other issues related to the assessments; and

2. Upon the conclusion of the public hearing, Adopt Resolution No. 23-56 (Attachment 1), approving the Final Engineer’s Report (Attachment 2), and confirming the diagram and assessments for FY 2023-24 for the District.

BACKGROUND
The City of Angels Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 – Greenhorn Creek (District) was approved by property owners in an assessment ballot proceeding and formed by the City Council on August 8, 2022, through the Landscape and Lighting District Act of 1972 (Act). The District, which repealed and replaced the existing Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1, was created to fund enhanced maintenance of landscaping, lighting, cultural and wildlife areas, local infrastructure, environmental mitigation services, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development. Every year an Engineer’s Report is prepared to establish the budget for the improvements listed in the report.

DISCUSSION
The Act requires an annual Engineer’s Report to be prepared by a licensed professional engineer. Since 2013, the LLD Engineer’s Report has been prepared by SCI Consulting Group from Fairfield, California. On

CITY HALL
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
March 21, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution 23-33 directing SCI to prepare the Engineer’s Report, which is the first step in a three-step process required by the Act to continue the annual assessments for FY 2023-24.

On May 16, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-46, a resolution of the City’s intention to continue the assessments for FY 2023-24, preliminarily approve an Engineer’s Report, and provide notice of a Public Hearing for the District for FY 2023-24. That resolution preliminarily approved the Engineer’s Report and the estimated expenses and proposed assessments therein. It also set June 20, 2023, as the date for a public hearing on the continuation of the assessments.

This Engineer’s Report, which includes the proposed budget for the assessments for fiscal year 2023-24 and the updated proposed assessments for each parcel in the District, was completed and filed with the City on May 24, 2023. The authorized maximum assessment rate for the District includes an annual increase by an amount equal to the annual change in the Northern California area (San Francisco-OaklandHayward) Consumer Price Index-All Urban Consumers (the “CPI”), as of December of each succeeding year. The amount of the annual increase in the CPI-U from December 2021 to December 2022 is 4.88%.

Therefore, the maximum authorized assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2023-24 has been increased by

4.88%, from $650.00 to $681.72 per Single Family Equivalent unit (SFE). The estimate of cost and budget in the Engineer’s Report proposes assessments for fiscal year 2023-24 at the rate of $650.00. The total amount of revenues that would be generated by the assessments in fiscal year 2023-24 at the proposed rate of $650.00 is approximately $344,142.

Each year, the Council is required to conduct a noticed public hearing and receive public input on the proposed assessments and the services that they would fund, in order to continue to levy the assessments for the upcoming fiscal year. After hearing the public testimony, the Council may take final action on setting the assessment rate, establishing the services and improvements to be funded and order the continuation of the assessments for FY 2023-24.

Approval of Resolution 23-56 will continue the assessments for FY 2023-24 and to direct additional actions related to the levy of the assessments, which will provide funds for the proposed assessment budget for FY 2023-24. With the collection of the FY 2023-24 assessment, the services and improvements made possible by the assessment funds can be accomplished.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The expected costs of preparing the Engineer’s Report by SCI Consulting Group are included in the 2023- 24 budget from the Assessment District fund, a non-General Fund source. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact attributable to the approval of this item.

Introduction
History and Overview
The Greenhorn Creek Landscape and Lighting District has two purposes: (1) to fund the ongoing protection and preservation of on-site environmental resources and (2) to fund maintenance of streetlights, landscaping, curb-gutter-and-sidewalk, entry monument signs, and related community use infrastructure within the Greenhorn Creek development.

The City of Angels Camp Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 – Greenhorn Creek was formed by a majority vote of the City of Angels (”City”) City Council on June 6, 1995. As a result of the subsequent passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, the assessment rate for the existing assessment District (No.1) cannot be increased beyond the previously approved amount of $300.00 per parcel (resulting from the fact that a cost-of-living adjustment mechanism was not explicitly included in the original formation documents.) As costs have continued to increase, this assessment amount no longer generates sufficient revenue to fund Greenhorn Creek’s improvements and services.

Without additional resources and funding, service levels will continue to deteriorate.

As a result, the Angels Camp City Council directed that a new assessment be proposed and voted on by property owners in accordance with Proposition 218 (Article XIIIC and D or the California Constitution). The Council’s intent was to replace the existing Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 – Greenhorn Creek with a new Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek (“District”) within the existing boundary and including the same improvements and services. If approved, the existing District No. 1 will be dissolved. Further, the proposed Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek is engineered to generate sufficient funding, and include an optional, annual cost-of-living adjustment mechanism to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability of the District.

This Engineer’s Report ("Report") has been prepared to establish the budget for the Improvements (as described below) that will be funded by the proposed assessments and other revenue and to determine the general and special benefits received from the Improvements by property within the District and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels.

This Report and the assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Act") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the “Article”).
(Note: Although the District funds maintenance and services of landscaping, lighting, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development, it does not fund the maintenance or operations of the adjacent Greenhorn Creek golf course, which is maintained and funded by a separate entity using separate funding.)

Engineer’s Report and Continuation of Assessments
In order to allow property owners to ultimately decide whether additional funding should be provided for the Greenhorn Creek Landscape and Lighting District, the Council, on March 15th, 2022, authorized the initiation of proceedings for a proposed benefit assessment to provide local funding for improved maintenance of landscaping, lighting, cultural and wildlife areas, local infrastructure, environmental mitigation services, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development. The proposed assessment was named the Landscape and Lighting District No. 2 – Greenhorn Creek (the “Assessment District”). In May through August of 2022, the District conducted an assessment ballot proceeding pursuant to the requirements of Article XIIID of the California Constitution ("The Taxpayer's Right to Vote on Taxes Act") and the Government Code. During this ballot proceeding, owners of property in the Assessment District were provided with a notice and ballot for the proposed special assessment. A 45-day period was provided for balloting and a public hearing was conducted on August 2, 2022.

It was determined after the conclusion of the public hearing that 84.62% of the weighted ballots returned were in support of the assessment. Since the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessments did not exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of the assessments (with each ballot weighted by the proportional financial obligation of the property for which ballot was submitted), the City gained the authority to approve the levy of the assessments for fiscal year 2022-23 and to continue to levy them in future years. The authority granted by the ballot proceeding includes an annual adjustment in the maximum authorized assessment rate equal to the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area. Board took action, by Resolution No. 22-44 passed on August 2, 2022, to approve the levy of the assessments for the first time for fiscal year 2022-23.

In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the City must approve an updated Engineer’s Report for the upcoming fiscal year at a noticed public hearing. As required by the Act, this Report includes a budget for the upcoming fiscal year’s costs and services, an updated assessment roll listing all parcels and their proposed assessments, plans and specifications, a diagram or map of the District, the benefits received by property from the Improvements within the District, and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels within the District.

This Engineer’s Report ("Report") was prepared by SCI Consulting Group (SCI) to establish the estimated costs for the services and related costs that will be funded by the assessments, to determine the special benefits and general benefits received from the services and to apportion the assessments to lots and parcels within the District based on the estimated special benefit each parcel receives from the services funded by the assessment.

If the City approves this Engineer's Report and the continuation of the assessments it establishes for fiscal year 2023-24, the assessments would be submitted to the County Auditor for inclusion on the property tax rolls for fiscal year 2023-24.

Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218
This assessment is formed consistent with Proposition 218, The Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996, and is now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services, improvements, as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which specially benefits the assessed property.

Proposition 218 describes several important requirements, including a property-owner balloting, for the formation and continuation of assessments. These requirements are satisfied by the process used to establish this assessment.

Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008) 44 Cal. 4th 431
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (“SVTA”). This ruling is significant in that the Court clarified how Proposition 218 made changes to the determination of special benefit. The Court also found that:
 Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit  The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined  Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the Assessment District
 The assessment paid by property should be proportional to the special benefits it receives from the Improvements
Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (2009) 174 Cal. App. 4th 708 In Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (“Dahms”) the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (2009) 180 Cal. App. 4th 103 Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (“Bonander”), the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based on the costs within subareas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.

Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010) 184 Cal. App. 4th 1516 Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside (“Beutz”) the Court overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services were not explicitly calculated, quantified, and separated from the special benefits.

Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011) 199 Cal. App. 4th 416
On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified, and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

Compliance with Current Law
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the benefiting property in the District enjoys close and unique proximity, access and views to the Improvements; the Improvements serve as an extension of usable land area for benefiting properties in the District and such special benefits provide a direct advantage to property in the District that is not enjoyed by the public at large or other property.

This Engineer’s Report is consistent with Beutz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because the Improvements will directly benefit property in the District and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessments. The Engineer’s Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the Improvements and Services proportional special benefit to each property, rather than the proportional cost to the District to provide the Improvements to specific properties.

Wetlands
The Greenhorn Creek project impacted 4.41 acres of Waters of the United States, triggering the need for a Section 404 Permit under the Clean Water Act. This permit is issued, monitored, and enforced by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The project removed 4.41 acres of wetlands and replaced them with 7.67 acres of compensation wetland.

There are three types of wetlands throughout the development:
 Seasonal Wetland: wetlands scattered along drainages below springs and along shorelines
 Emergent Wetland: The emergent zone stretches from the high-water mark to 3 feet below the high-water mark. Notice the edges of the large pond are Emergent Wetlands, but the center of the pond is not classified as wetland. However, the entire pond is classified as Waters of the United States and is protected by several regulatory agencies.  Stream: waterways that exhibit an incised channel
As a requirement of the 404 Permit, the District is required to maintain the exclusionary fencing and informational signage listed in Table 8 below. The District is also required to monitor the water level and notify the golf course when the water level falls below the required minimal level.

Wetland 4b (E-WET 4b) located by the 5th Tee box is unsuccessful due to excessive nutrient loading from fertilizer runoff and insufficient depth. To mitigate these issues, the District treats this pond with beneficial bacteria monthly during the dry season. Coordination with the ACOE is ongoing to find a solution for wetland 4b.

Method of Assessment Apportionment
Method of Apportionment
This section of the Engineer's Report explains the benefits to be derived from the Improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total assessment to properties within the District.

The District consists of certain assessor parcels within the boundaries as defined by the Assessment Diagram referenced in this report and the parcels identified by the Assessor Parcel Numbers listed with the levy roll. The parcel list includes all privately and publicly owned parcels as shown. The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the proportional special benefits derived by the properties in the District over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. Special benefit and the Assessments are calculated for each parcel in the District using the following process:

1. Identification of special benefit factors derived from the Improvements

2. Calculation and quantification of the general benefits

3. Determination of the relative special benefit within different areas within the Assessment District

4. Determination of the relative special benefit per property type

5. Apportionment of the costs to Assessment and calculation of the Assessment for each individual parcel based upon special benefit; location, property type, property size, property characteristics, improvements on property and other supporting attributes.

Discussion of Benefit
In summary, the Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. This special benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that the value of the special benefits must exceed the cost of the assessment:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2023-24

Page 18 ends

The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential and other lots and parcels resulting from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the Improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These categories of special benefit are derived from the statutes passed by the California Legislature and other studies which describe the types of special benefit received by property from maintenance and Improvements such as those within by the District. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:

1. Proximity to improved landscaped, cultural and wildlife areas, and other public Improvements within the Assessment District.

2. Access to improved landscaped, cultural and wildlife areas, and other public Improvements within the Assessment District.

3. Improved views within the Assessment District.

4. Extension of a property’s outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.

5. Improved nighttime visibility and safety from streetlights

6. Creation of individual lots for residential use that, in absence of the Assessments, would not have been created.

In this case, the recent SVTA v. SCCOSA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties from similar improvements in three distinct areas:
 Proximity
 Expanded or improved access
 Views
The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v.

SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:

The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district’s property values).

Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed above further strengthen the basis of these assessments.

Moreover, the Dahms decision further clarified that certain services and improvements funded by assessments, that are over and above what otherwise would be provided and that other property in general and the public do not share or receive are 100% special benefit. The assessment-funded services upheld by Dahms included streetscape maintenance and security services.

Special Benefit
SCI assessment engineers have identified the following special benefits:

Proximity and Access to Improved Landscaped, Cultural and Wildlife Areas, and Other Public Areas within the Assessment District
Only the specific properties within close proximity to the Improvements are included in the District. The District has been narrowly drawn to include the properties that receive special benefits from the Improvements. Therefore, property in the District enjoys unique and valuable proximity and access to the Improvements that the public at large and property outside the District do not share.

In absence of the Assessments, the Improvements would not be provided and the landscaped, cultural and wildlife areas in the District would be degraded due to insufficient funding for maintenance, upkeep, and repair. Therefore, the assessments provide Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided. Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided do not by themselves translate into special benefits but when combined with the unique proximity enjoyed by parcels in the District, they provide a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

Since the parcels in the District are nearly the only parcels that enjoy close access to the Improvements, they directly benefit from the unique close access to improved landscaping areas that are provided by the Assessments. This is a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

Improved Views within the Assessment District
The District, by maintaining permanent public improvements funded by the Assessments in the District, provides improved views to properties in the District. The properties in the District enjoy close and unique proximity, access and views of the specific Improvements funded in the District; therefore, the improved and protected views provided by the Assessments are another direct and tangible advantage that is uniquely conferred upon property in the District.

Extension of a Property’s Outdoor Areas and Green Spaces for Properties within Close Proximity to the Improvements
The landscaped, cultural and wildlife areas within the District provide additional outdoor areas that serve as an effective extension of the land area for proximate properties. The Improvements, therefore, provide an important, valuable, and desirable extension of usable land area for the direct advantage and special benefit of properties with good and close proximity to the Improvements.

Improved Nighttime Visibility and Safety from Streetlights Well maintained, effective street lighting provides special benefit to proximate parcels, within the range of the light, because it allows for safer and improved use of the property in the evenings and night. Street lighting also provides special benefit as it increases neighborhood safety and reduces the likelihood of crime on the proximate parcels.

Creation of Individual Lots for Residential Use that, in Absence of the Assessments, Would Not Have Been Created
In the District, the original owner/developer(s) of the property within the District agreed unanimously to the Assessments. The Assessments provide the necessary funding for improvements that were required as a condition of development and subdivision approval.

Therefore, such Assessments allowed the original property to be subdivided and for development of the parcels to occur. As parcels were sold, new owners were informed of the Assessments through the title reports, and in some cases, through Department of Real Estate “White Paper” reports that the parcels were subject to assessment. Purchase of property was also an “agreement” to pay the Assessment. Therefore, in absence of the Assessments, the lots within most of the District would not have been created. These parcels, and the improvements that were constructed on the parcels, receive direct advantage and special benefit from the Assessments.

General Versus Special Benefit
Proposition 218 requires an assessing agency to separate the general benefits from the special benefits of a public improvement or service, estimate the quantity of each in relation to the other, and limit the assessment amount to the portion of the improvement or service costs attributable to the special benefits.

In the legal decisions known as Golden Hill and Beutz, the California courts have determined that there typically will be some general benefit associated with parks, landscaping and lighting maintenance and improvements because people who don’t reside or own property in an assessment district do receive some, albeit minimal, benefit from the Improvements.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2023-24

Page 21 ends

The separation and quantification of general and special benefits requires an apportionment of the cost of the service or improvement between the two benefit types. General benefits cannot be funded by assessment revenue. Rather, the funding must come from other sources. The Engineer, therefore, has analyzed the quantity to which the general public may reasonably be expected to use or benefit from the improved and maintained areas in relation to the quantity or extent to which property owners within the assessment district use and benefit from the improved and maintained areas.

Although the improved areas may be available to the general public at large, they have been specifically designed, located, and created to provide additional and improved public resources for property inside the District, and not the public at large. Other properties that are either outside the District, or within the District and not assessed, do not enjoy the unique proximity, access, views, and other special benefit factors described previously. These Improvements are of special benefit to properties located within the District because they provide a direct advantage to properties in the District that would not be provided in absence of the Assessments.

There is no widely-accepted or statutory formula for calculating general benefit. General benefits are benefits from improvements or services that are not special in nature, are not “particular and distinct” and are not “over and above” benefits received by other properties. The SVTA vs.

SCCOSA decision provides some clarification by indicating that general benefits provide “an indirect, derivative advantage” and are not necessarily proximate to the improvements.

In other words:

In any case, following is a description of the separation and quantification of general benefit in the District. In each step of this analysis, the more liberal assumptions and determinations have been used in order to ensure that the total calculated general benefit is liberally determined.

A widely-accepted formula to estimate the general benefit is listed below:

Total
Benefit = General Benefit + Special Benefit

Page 22 ends

Benefit to Property Outside the District
Properties within the District receive almost all of the special benefits from the Improvements because properties in the District enjoy unique proximity and access to the Improvements that is not enjoyed by other properties or the public at large. Further, the District has significant physical barriers, such as roads, fences, and open space that impede the benefit from the Improvements by properties outside the District. There are only two points of ingress/egress into the District and these points are designed to limit random access. Developed residential properties only exist outside the District along a portion of the northern boundary. Nonetheless, some properties within immediate adjacent proximity of the Improvements, but outside of the boundaries of the District, may receive some benefit from the Improvements. These benefits include improved views, but do not include improved proximity or access, extension of outdoor areas, nor improved lighting. Since these adjacent properties have limited direct view and access, and only receive a small portion of the benefits, a 25% reduction factor is used. This benefit is conferred to properties outside the District’s boundary. It contributes to the overall general benefit calculation and will not be funded by the Assessments.

The general benefit to property outside of the District is calculated as follows with the parcel and data analysis performed by SCI Consulting Group.

Total General Benefit to Properties Outside of the District = 2% Benefit to Property within the Assessment District
The “indirect and derivative” benefit to property within the District is particularly difficult to calculate. A solid argument can be presented that all benefit within the Assessment District is special because the Improvements are clearly “over and above” and “particular and distinct” when compared with the baseline level of service and the unique proximity, access and views of the Improvements enjoyed by benefiting properties in the District.

Assumptions:
43 parcels outside and adjacent to the District
526 parcels in the Assessment District
Calculation
General Benefit to Property outside the Improvement District= (43/(43+526)) * 25% = 2%

Nevertheless, the SVTA decision indicates there may be general benefit “conferred on real property located in the district.” A measure of the general benefits to property within the District is the percentage of land area within the District that is publicly owned, open to the public, and used for regional purposes such as major roads, rail lines, hospitals, and other regional facilities because such properties, while physically within the District, are used for regional purposes and could provide indirect benefits to the public at large. In this case, essentially 0% of the land area is used for such regional purposes.

Total General Benefit to Properties Inside of the District = 0% Benefit to the Public at Large
This Engineer’s Report uses this general benefit measure as the third component of the overall general benefit quantification. In the Beutz case, the Court opined those general benefits from parks and recreation facilities could be quantified by measuring the use of parks and recreation facilities by people who do not live within the assessment boundaries. Therefore, the general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of time that the District’s landscaped, cultural, wildlife and lighting facilities are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers, or property owners in the District.

The golf course attracts members of the public at large into the primarily residential District.

Hence, the “Public at Large” within the District used to evaluate this component of general benefit is primarily made up of non-resident golfers.

Some of the Improvements are proximate to the Greenhorn Creek golf course and enjoyed in part by non-resident golfers. However, it should be noted, however, that there are wetlands, cultural areas, and wildlife areas distributed throughout the District, they are in close proximity accessible to all the parcels and contribute to improved views. Finally, the maintenance and improvements to the golf course clearly provide additional, offsetting special benefit to the District’s Improvements.

Based upon observations and records obtained from the golf course operator, use by persons who do not own property within the District are approximately 50% of the persons who use the golf course. Approximately 30,000 rounds of golf are played a year at the golf course. 30,000 rounds * 50% non-resident = 15,000 rounds by non-resident golfers 15,000 rounds/365 days per year = 41 golfers per day
41 non-resident golfers/1,000 approximate total population = 5% City of Angels Camp

In addition, the street lighting benefits both pedestrians and drivers who reside in the District area as well as those pedestrians and drivers from outside the District (i.e., those walking or driving through or into the District). Because the District involves residential subdivisions with no major arterial roads and few through roads, the vast majority of the walking and driving in the District at night is by those who reside in the area. City staff persons, as well as residents and golf course staff over the years have observed the drivers and pedestrians in the District area. Based on these observations, and experience with other similar projects, the Engineer has determined that approximately 5% of the drivers and pedestrians on the District streets with lighting reside outside the District.
5% General Benefit to non-resident night-time drivers
With 5% of golf course benefit by non-residents and 5% benefit from street lighting to nonresidents, the total general benefit to the public at large is:

Total General Benefit to Public at Large = 5% + 5% = 10% Total General Benefits
Using a sum of these three measures of general benefit, we find that approximately 15% (rounded up from 12%) of the benefits conferred by the Improvements may be general in nature and should be funded by sources other than the assessment.

Quantification of General Benefit Contribution from Other Sources As a result, at least 15% of the District budget must come from sources other than the assessment.

This contribution offsets any general benefits from the Assessment services. This general benefit contribution offset comes from several sources, including the Greenhorn Creek golf course, the City of Angels Camp, and the effective value of the original development. This general benefit contribution exceeds the 15% required general benefit.

General Benefit =
2 % (Outside the District)
+ 0 % (Property within the District)
+ 10 % (Public at Large)
= 12% (Round up to 15%)

Page 25 ends

General Benefit Contribution from Greenhorn Golf Course The Greenhorn Creek Golf Course owns, maintains, rehabilitates, and improves the golf course that is proximate and directly adjacent to the Improvements areas maintained by the District, and is largely funded by course use fees and an annual fee from members. The maintenance of the golf course serves to contribute to the maintenance of the District Improvements in significant ways. For example, maintenance of the landscaping proximate to the District’s improved areas provides for improved views, extension of improved areas, weed control, species control, rodent control, and other types of maintenance. The golf course’s pathways provide improved access to the District Improvements. The golf course’s drainage system manages water flow and helps maintain the improved areas. The golf course itself provides a boundary for the Improvements and retains them. The contribution from the Greenhorn Creek golf course towards general benefit from the services described in this section is conservatively estimated to be worth at least 10% of overall costs and benefits.

General Benefit Contribution from Original Development of the Improvements The value of the construction of the Improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non-assessment funds, this “annuity” can be used to offset general benefit costs and is conservatively estimated to contribute at least 10%.

Therefore, the total required general benefit is conservatively quantified at 15% (calculated above) which is more than offset by the total non-assessment contribution towards general benefit of 20%.

Zones of Benefit
The boundaries of the District were carefully drawn to include the properties in the District and currently receive special benefit from the Improvements.

The SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision indicates:

General Benefit contribution for non-assessment
sources =
10 % (from golf course)
+ 10 % (from initial development)
= 25% (Total General Benefit contribution)

“In a well-drawn district — limited to only parcels receiving special benefits from the improvement — every parcel within that district receives a shared special benefit. Under section 2, subdivision (i), these benefits can be construed as being general benefits since they are not “particular and distinct” and are not “over and above” the benefits received by other properties “located in the district.”
“We do not believe that the voters intended to invalidate an assessment district that is narrowly drawn to include only properties directly benefitting from an improvement.

Indeed, the ballot materials reflect otherwise. Thus, if an assessment district is narrowly drawn, the fact that a benefit is conferred throughout the district does not make it general rather than special. In that circumstance, the characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g., proximity to park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g., general enhancement of the district’s property values).” In the District, the advantage that each parcel receives from the Improvements is direct, and the boundaries are narrowly drawn to include only parcels that benefit from the assessment.

Therefore, the even spread of assessment throughout the narrowly drawn district is indeed consistent with the OSA decision.

Within the District, zones of benefit are not justified or needed because the Improvements are provided relatively evenly across the entire area and for all parcels. Parcels of similar type in the District receive similar benefits on a per parcel and land area basis. Therefore, zones of benefit are not justified.

Method of Assessment
As previously discussed, the Assessments will provide comprehensive Improvements that will clearly confer special benefits to properties in the District. The allocation of special benefits to property is partially based on the type of property and the size of property. These benefits can also partially be measured by the occupants on property in the District because such parcel population density is a measure of the relative benefit a parcel receives from the Improvements.

It should be noted that many other types of “traditional” assessments also use parcel population densities to apportion the Assessments. For example, the assessments for sewer systems, roads and water systems are typically allocated based on the population density of the parcels assessed.

Therefore, the apportionment of benefit is reasonably based on the type of parcel, the size of parcels and the population density of parcels.

The next step in apportioning Assessments is to determine the relative special benefit for each property. This process involves determining the relative benefit received by each property in relation to a single-family home, or, in other words, on the basis of Single-Family Equivalents (SFE).

This SFE methodology is commonly used to distribute Assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of Assessments. For the purposes of this Engineer’s Report, all properties are assigned an SFE value, which is each property’s relative benefit in relation to a single-family home on one parcel. In this case, the "benchmark" property is the single-family detached dwelling which is one Single Family Equivalent or one SFE.

Assessment Apportionment
The Improvements provide direct and special benefit to properties in the District. The District is primarily residential single family development. As such, each single family residential property receives similar benefit from the Improvements. Therefore, the Engineer has determined that the appropriate method of apportionment of the benefits derived by all parcels is on a dwelling unit basis. All improved properties or properties proposed for development are assigned an SFE factor equal to the number of dwelling units developed or planned for the property.

Residential Properties
Certain residential properties in the Assessment Area that contain a single residential dwelling unit and are on a lot of less than or equal to one acre are assigned one Single Family Equivalent or 1.0 SFE. Traditional houses, zero-lot line houses, and town homes are included in this category of single family residential property. Properties with more than one detached single family residence on one acre or less are assigned 1.0 SFE per single family home.

Properties with more than one residential unit (other than parcels with more than one detached single family dwelling as described above) are designated as multi-family residential properties.

These properties benefit from the Improvements in proportion to the number of dwelling units that occupy each property, the average number of people who reside in multi-family residential units versus the average number of people who reside in a single family home and the relative size of each type of residential dwelling unit. The population density factors for the area in City of Angels Camp encompassing the District, as depicted in the following table, provide the basis for determining the SFE factors for residential properties.

Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2023-24

Page 28 ends

Using the total population in a certain property type in the area of the District from the 2020 Census and dividing it by the total number of such households, finds that approximately 2.16 persons occupy each single family residence, whereas an average of 2.23 persons occupy each multi-family residence. The ratio of 2.16 people on average for a single family residence and 2.23 people per dwelling unit in a multi-family residence unit result in a population density equivalent of 1.03 for multi-family residences. Next, the relative building areas are factored into the analysis because special benefits are related to the average size of a property, in addition to average population densities. For a multi-family residence, this calculation results in an SFE factor of 0.37 per dwelling unit.

Table 10 – Residential Property Types
Source: 2020 Census, City of Angels, and property dwelling size information from the Calaveras County Assessor data and other sources.

Commercial Properties
Commercial properties are generally open and operated for more limited times, relative to residential properties. Therefore, the relative hours of operation can be used as a measure of benefits since employee density also provides a measure of the relative benefit to property. Since commercial properties are typically open and occupied by employees approximately one-half the time of residential properties, it is reasonable to assume that commercial land uses receive onehalf of the special benefit on a land area basis relative to single family residential property.

The average size of a single family home with 1.0 SFE factor in the Service Area is 0.25 acres.

Therefore, a commercial property with 0.25 acres receives one-half the relative benefit, or a 0.50 SFE factor.

The SFE values for various commercial land uses are further defined by using average employee densities because the special benefit factors described previously are also related to the average number of people who work at commercial properties.

To determine employee density factors, this Report utilizes the findings from the San Diego County Association of Governments Traffic Generators Study (the “SANDAG Study”) because these findings were approved by the State Legislature which determined the SANDAG Study to be a good representation of the average number of employees per acre of land area for commercial and industrial properties. As determined by the SANDAG Study, the average number of employees per acre for commercial and industrial property is 24. As presented in Figure 1, the SFE factors for other types of businesses are determined relative to their typical employee density in relation to the average of 24 employees per acre of commercial property.

Table 11 – Commercial/Industrial Benefit Assessment Factors

1. Source: San Diego Association of Governments Traffic Generators Study, University of California, Davis and other studies and sources.

2. The SFE factors for commercial and industrial parcels indicated above are applied to each fourth acre of land area or portion thereof. Additional acres over five for commercial, office, shopping center and industrial parcels are calculated per acre or portion thereof. (Therefore, the minimum assessment for any assessable parcel in these categories is the SFE Units listed herein.) Vacant/Undeveloped Properties
The Improvements will make the land in the District more desirable and useable. The benefit to undeveloped properties is determined to be proportional to the corresponding benefits for similar type developed properties, but at a lower rate due to the lack of improvements on the property. A measure of the benefits accruing to the underlying land is the average value of land in relation to Improvements for developed property. An analysis of the assessed valuation data from the City of Angels Camp found that approximately 15% of the assessed value of improved properties is classified as the land value. It isreasonable to assume, therefore, that approximately 15% of the benefits are related to the underlying land and 85% are related to the improvements and the day-to-day use of the property. Using this ratio, the SFE factor for vacant/undeveloped parcels is 0.15 per parcel.

Other Property Types
For certain properties, additional analysis and calculation of special benefit is required, as indicated below:

Golf Course Fairways and Greens
Golf course fairways and greens parcels do provide special benefit in the form of improved views and beautification to all parcels within the District – however, they also receive some special benefit from the Improvements as enjoyed by golfers on these parcels. The fairways and green parcels include:

Parcel Acres
058-045-002-000 19.56
058-046-013-000 35.14
058-046-015-000 39.47
058-047-005-000 8.84
058-047-009-000 25.37
058-047-012-000* 28.55
058-060-006-000** 1.74
Total acreage = 158.67
*Note: mixed-use parcel – 2.5 sfe added for Caddy Shack Rental **Note: entry way parcel with similar benefit to fairways and greens The Engineer has conducted an analysis and determined that there are typically 21 golfers on the course at anytime.

The special benefit is calculated as such:
21 golfers/2.16 household residents = 9.72 Single Family Equivalents of special benefit

9.72 SFE’s/158.67 acres = 0.0612 SFEs/ acre
Fitness, Tennis, Basketball, Pool, etc.

Fitness and sport court parcels receive special benefit from the improvements similar to other parcels. The fitness and court sport parcels include:

Parcel Acres
058-071-014-000 1.91
058-043-005-000 0.33
058-080-019-000 1.36
Total acreage = 3.60
The Engineer has conducted an analysis and determined that there are typically 5 users on these facilities at anytime.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2023-24

Page 31 ends

The special benefit is calculated as such:
5 users/2.16 household residents = 2.314 SFEs of special benefit

2.314 SFE’s/3.60 acres = 0.6430 SFEs/ acre
Club house (Restaurant, Pro Shop, and Wedding Facilities) The Club house parcel does provide special benefit similar to the other parcels. The club house parcel include:

Parcel Acres
058-046-007-000 2.86
Total acreage = 2.86
The Engineer has conducted an analysis and determined that there are typically 7 golfers in Club house, 15 restaurant customers, 1 pro shop customers, and 2 special event guests anytime at anytime.

The special benefit is calculated as such:

The benefit to golfers + benefit to restaurant customers + benefit to pro shop customers + benefit to special event guests
(7 golfers + 18 non-golfers)/2.16 household residents = 11.5740 SFEs of special benefit

11.5740 SFE’s/2.86 acres = 4.0468 SFEs/ acre
Annual Cost Indexing
The maximum assessment rate within the Improvement District may increase in future years based on the annual increase, if any, in the Northern California (San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward) Consumer Price Index-All Urban Consumers (the “CPI”) from December to December of each year, with a maximum annual adjustment not to exceed 3% per year.

Any change in the CPI in excess of 3% shall be cumulatively reserved as the “Unused CPI” and shall be used to increase the maximum authorized assessment rate in years in which the CPI is less than 3%. The maximum authorized assessment rate is equal to the maximum assessment rate in the first fiscal year the assessment was levied adjusted annually by the minimum of 1) 3% or 2) the change in the CPI plus any Unused CPI as described above.

Duration of Assessment
The Assessments, will be continued every year after their formation, so long as the public Improvements need to be maintained and improved, and the City requires funding from the Assessments for these Improvements in the District. As noted previously, the Assessment can continue to be levied annually after the City Council approves an annually updated Engineer’s Report, budget for the Assessment, Improvements to be provided, and other specifics of the Assessment. In addition, the City Council must hold an annual public hearing to continue the Assessment.

Appeals of Assessments Levied to Property
Any property owner who feels that the Assessment levied on the subject property is in error as a result of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment may file a written appeal with the City of Angels Camp City Administrator or their designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an Assessment during the then-current Fiscal Year and applicable law. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Administrator or their designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Administrator or their designee finds that the Assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the Assessment Roll. If any such changes are approved after the Assessment Roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Administrator or their designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any dispute over the decision of the City Administrator or their designee shall be referred to the Angels Camp City Council, and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

Assessment Funds Must Be Expended within the District
The net available Assessment funds, after incidental, administrative, financing, and other costs shall be expended exclusively for Improvements within the boundaries of the District or as described herein, and appropriate incidental and administrative costs as defined in the Plans and Specifications section.

Oversight, Annual Review, and Accountability
The Assessment proceeds and expenditures will also be reviewed and overseen by the City Council. In addition, the Assessment budget, Assessment rate, Assessment CPI increase, and Improvements will be reviewed at a noticed public hearing by the Councill and public.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2023-24

Page 33 ends

In general, the public review and accountability process is as follows: The Assessments will not automatically continue and will require specific actions, reports, and procedures for continuation.

In each subsequent year for which the Assessments will be levied, the Council must preliminarily approve at a public meeting a budget and costs for the upcoming Fiscal Year’s Improvements, an updated annual Engineer’s Report, and an updated Assessment roll listing all parcels and their Assessments. At this meeting, the Council will also call for the publication in a local newspaper of a legal notice of the intent to continue the Assessments for the next Fiscal Year and set the date for the noticed public hearing. At the annual public hearing, members of the public can provide input to the Council prior to the Council’s decision on ordering the Improvements and the Assessments for the next Fiscal Year.

Citizens’ Oversight Committee
The Greenhorn Creek Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 2 Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) was established for the Assessment District. The purpose of the Committee is to represent property owners within the Greenhorn Creek Landscape and Lighting District No. 2. in matters associated with the oversight and management of District finances and affairs in conjunction with the annual Engineer’s Report. Committee membership is limited to property owners within the District and membership is limited to between seven (7) and eleven (11) members. Regular meetings of the Committee shall be held at least quarterly with an Annual Meeting in January.

The assessment is subject to an annual adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index-U for the San Francisco Bay Area as of December of each succeeding year (the “CPI”). Based on the preceding annual adjustments, the maximum assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2023-24 per Single Family Equivalent unit (SFE) was $650.00. The annual change in the CPI from December 2021 to December 2022 was 4.88%. Therefore, the maximum authorized assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2023-24 has been increased by 4.88%, from $650.00 to $681.72 per SFE. The estimate of cost and budget in this Engineer's Report proposes assessments for Fiscal Year 2023-24 at the rate of $650.00 per SFE unit, which is below the maximum authorized rate.

The assessment is made upon the parcels or lots of land within the District in proportion to the special benefits to be received by the parcels or lots of land, from the Improvements.

Each parcel or lot of land is described in the Assessment Roll by reference to its parcel number as shown on the Assessor's Maps of the County of Calaveras for the fiscal year 2023-24. For a more particular description of the parcel, reference is hereby made to the deeds and maps on file and of record in the office of the County Recorder of Calaveras County.

I hereby place opposite the Assessor Parcel Number for each parcel or lot within the Assessment Rolls, the amount of the assessment for the fiscal year 2023-24 for each parcel or lot of land within the District.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 Table 1-5 General Plan Text Amendment- 1
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: City of Angels City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: RESOLUTION 23-51 AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT TABLE 1-5 (GENERAL PLAN AND

ZONING CONSISTENCY) TO ALLOW THE FOLLOWING ZONING DISTRICTS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (HDR) GENERAL PLAN LAND USE: SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-1) AND MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (R-2)
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 23-51.

BACKGROUND:

The City adopted General Plan 2020 on February 3, 2009. General Plan Land Use Element Table 1-5 identifies those zoning districts consistent with each general plan land use designation. The proposed amendment would allow landowners to propose “less intense” zoning districts including Single-Family Residential (R-1) and Medium-Density Residential (R-2) zoning districts instead of only Multi-Family Residential (R-3) zoning on their properties where the general plan land use designation is High Density Residential (HDR). General plans often allow for “less intensive” zoning districts to be consistent with individual land use designations, but generally don’t allow for “more intensive” zoning.

In conjunction with the citywide rezoning for general plan consistency, several landowners with homes 50 years of age and older and generally on small lots created in the early days of the townsite, requested R-1 and even R-2 zoning on properties designated high density residential (HDR) under the general plan. None of these properties are on land identified in the City’s General Plan Housing Element as necessary to meet the City’s Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) goals. Landowners requested the ability to protect the single-family residential character of their property even when surrounded by other properties that may have duplexes or triplexes. In addition, many of the older subdivisions within the City are traditionally a mixture of single-family, duplexes and triplexes. Given the variation in historic lot sizes, some lots can accommodate sufficient parking for duplexes and triplexes and some cannot. Approval of the proposed amendment would allow the landowner flexibility to determine when a lower density is preferable for their future goals without the need for a general plan amendment and while maintaining the mixture of densities characteristic of the City’s older subdivisions. The proposed rezonings and general plan amendments in the following action items assume adoption of this amendment.

The Planning Commission considered this item (Resolution of Intent 23-07) at its June 8, 2023, meeting. The results of that meeting will be reported to the City Council on June 20, 2023.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 Table 1-5 General Plan Text Amendment- 2

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code Section 17.90.040, decisions pertaining to general plan amendments shall be made upon the following findings of fact:

Finding A: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code The proposed amendments will implement portions of the following general plan programs:

2.B.a Undertake a Comprehensive Update to the City of Angels Municipal Code Initiate a comprehensive update of the City of Angels Municipal Code to incorporate changes identified in the Housing Element, for internal consistency and for consistency with the general plan.

The citywide rezoning necessary to bring parcels into compliance with the general plan resulted in changes triggering the need for refinements to the general plan for consistency and, in this case, in response to landowner requests. With these changes, the general plan will allow landowners to zone property to lower densities than identified in the general plan allowing the general plan and zoning districts to conform with each other. Therefore, Finding A can be made.

Finding B: The proposed changes or amendments will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.

Allowing reduced density on properties would reduce the intensity of potential impacts (e.g., to traffic, air quality) already evaluated and determined to be less than significant at a higher density under the certified General Plan 2020 Environmental Impact Report. Therefore, the proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City and Finding B can be made.

Other Findings: General Plan 2020 Program 1.A.d provides Guidelines for General Plan Amendments. Program

1.A.d addresses changes to the General Plan Land Use Map. This proposal includes textual changes to the General Plan and does not alter the General Plan Land Use Map and does not change any individual land use designation. Therefore, this program is inapplicable to the proposed text amendment.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:

Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed revision to the City’s General Plan land use table is exempt from further review, because the impacts associated with the proposed text changes or resulting from them would be less intensive (due to reduced density) than those evaluated under the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) adopted for the 2020 General Plan. Therefore, the project is consistent with, and is within the scope of, the certified General Plan EIR for General Plan 2020.

DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: City of Angels City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: RESOLUTION 23-52 AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATIONS ON 41 PARCELS, AS

IDENTIFIED
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution of Intent 23-52.

BACKGROUND:

The City adopted General Plan 2020 on February 3, 2009. The City is currently undertaking a citywide rezoning to bring all parcels into zoning compliance with the general plan. In conjunction with the citywide rezoning for general plan consistency and outreach to landowners; it was determined that the general plan land use designation on 41 parcels should be changed for reasons including:

A. Land ownership and the goals of the landowner changed B. Landowners opposed their 2009 General Plan land use designation, their proposed general plan land use designations recognize existing uses which are not proposed to change, and their alternative proposal is consistent with the general plan goals, policies, and programs C. Landowners acquired multiple adjacent parcels that allow for master planning (Special Planning Zoning) D. Land owned/acquired by a public agency or encompassing a roadway was not reflected in the general plan E. Landowners refined goals for their properties;
F. Clerical error
As of this date (6/6/23), landowners are in agreement with the proposed general plan amendments in Table 1. Figures 1-14 identify the locations of each parcel following Table 1.

On June 8, 2023, the Planning Commission considered Resolution of Intent 23-08 to amend these general plan land use designations. The results of that meeting will be reported at the 6/20/23 City Council meeting.

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code Section 17.90.040, decisions pertaining to general plan amendments shall be made upon the following findings of fact:

Findings A and B: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code Proposed general plan amendments on 41 parcels totaling 108.6± acres1 include:

SFR - Single-Family Residential (2 parcels) – totaling 0.23 acre RE - Residential Estate (1 parcel) – totaling 6.8 acres SP - Special Planning (19 parcels) – totaling 78.48 acres HDR - High Density Residential (15 parcels) – totaling 20.5 acres P - Public/ROW (4 parcels) – totaling 2.59 acres
Single-Family Residential (SFR)
The purposes and intent of the Single-Family Residential (SFR) general plan land use are:
 To preserve the integrity of existing single-family residential neighborhoods  To reserve lands best-suited for future single-family development (i.e., land accessible by adequate roads, police, fire, water and sewer services on slopes generally averaging less than 15%) SFR lands are located in varying places, but are restricted to those areas that can be served by adequate water, sewer, police, fire, roads, and other public services on relatively gentle slopes in close proximity to city services.

Development Standards for SFR include:
 Six dwelling units per gross acre density. Higher densities are possible through density bonuses granted for the provision of affordable housing for households of low or very low income in accordance with the general plan.
 Maximum impervious surfaces: 50%. Impervious surfaces totaling up to 60% are permitted for projects providing housing for low or very low income households in accordance with the general plan.

Impervious surfaces totaling up to 60% may be permitted with review and approval of the City of Angels Planning Commission subject to site specifics, project needs and environmental constraints.  For parcels adjoining or visible from highways, arterials or collectors, project design shall accommodate the provision of street trees.

SFR is consistent with the Single-Family Residential (R-1) zoning district pursuant to General Plan Table 1-5 Two parcels are proposed to be amended to a general plan land use designation of SFR (Figure 15). The parcels total 0.23± acre. Both are quite small and appear to be remainder fragments of larger parcels. The parcels were designated as Special Planning and Right-of-Way in error. This amendment will correct that error and make the parcels consistent with the adjacent Single-Family Residential land use designations adjacent. Both are adjacent to public water and sewer and adjoin existing subdivisions. 1 Out of 2356± acres (or approximately 4.6% of total city acreage) and 2,339± parcels (or approximately 1.8% of total city parcels)
General Plan Amendments - 21
Based on their location, size, ability to be served by public infrastructure and services, and adjacent SFR land use designations, the parcels are consistent with the SFR general plan land use designation, and the amendment may be found consistent with the general plan.

The parcels are proposed for rezoning to Single-Family Residential (R-1). Pursuant to General Plan Land Use Table 1-5, the R-1 zoning district is consistent with the SFR General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the amendment may be found consistent with the zoning code.

Residential Estate (RE)
The purposes of the Residential Estate (RE) general plan land use designation are:

To provide a residential alternative on relatively steep slopes that may not accommodate the city’s smallest residential lots (approximately 7,500 square feet). This land use designation is intended to accommodate residential developments for landowners desiring a more rural setting than may be available within a small-lot Single-Family Residential (SFR) subdivision.

Figure 15: SFR General Plan Parcels
General Plan Amendments - 22
RE lands are generally located in areas with gentle slopes away from the central core of the city. The RE land use also provides opportunities for clustering on land with pockets of relatively gentle slopes (for clustering) mixed with relatively steep slopes (to be left as open space) and provides a transition between the less dense Rural Residential (RR) land use designation and the higher densities of the city.

RE development standards include:
 One dwelling unit per one gross acre to one dwelling unit per three gross acres dependent upon on-site slopes.
 Maximum impervious surfaces: 20%. Impervious surfaces totaling up to 40% may be permitted with review and approval of the City of Angels Planning Commission subject to site specifics, project needs and environmental constraints.
 For parcels adjoining or visible from highways, arterials or collectors, project design shall accommodate the provision of street trees.

RE is consistent with both the Residential Estate, one-acre minimum (RE-1) and Residential Estate, five acre minimum (RE-5) zoning districts pursuant to General Plan Table 1-5.

A single parcel, totaling 6.8± acres, is proposed to be amended to the RE land use designation. The parcel is located along Gold Cliff Road surrounded by parcels generally more than 10 acres in size on rolling hills in a rural setting designated either Special Planning or Residential Estate (Figure 16). Based on the nature, location and surrounding land uses; the proposed general plan amendment is consistent with the general plan.

General Plan Amendments - 23
The parcel is proposed for rezoning to Residential Estate, one acre minimum (RE-1). Pursuant to General Plan Land Use Table 1-5, the RE-1 zoning district is consistent with the Residential Estate General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the amendment may be found consistent with the zoning code.

Special Planning (SP)
The purposes and intent of the Special Planning (SP) general plan land use designation are:
• To encourage unique developments with compatible mixed uses and an integrated design compatible with the physical characteristics of the property.

Figure 16: Proposed RE Land Use
General Plan Amendments - 24
• To provide uniform development guidelines consistent with Specific Plan legislation pursuant to Government Code Section 65450 et seq. for mixed-use development proposals occurring on parcels totaling more than twenty acres in size.
• To allow for flexible development opportunities for mixed use developments on parcels totaling twenty acres or less in size.

The SP land use designation is given to properties that have unique or unusual characteristics due to location or topography and do not fit into the conventional zoning pattern including vacant land requiring environmentally and aesthetically sensitive development. SP also includes large tracts of land under single ownership where the landowner has indicated future plans for a mixed-use development with an integrated design.

Development Standards for SP include:
• Land use density and intensity of use shall be as specified in the Specific Plan. For those projects not subject to a Specific Plan (i.e., less than 20 acres in size), land use density and intensity of use shall be per the land use designation(s) most similar to the use or uses proposed on the site. • A minimum of 30% open spaces (including landscaping, recreational uses without buildings and natural areas) is required for this land use for parcels subject to a Specific Plan. A minimum of 25% open spaces (including landscaping, recreational uses without buildings and natural areas) is required for this land use for parcels not subject to a Specific Plan.
• For parcels adjoining or visible from highways, arterials or collectors, project design shall accommodate the provision of street trees.
• Lands designated as SP are expected to integrate and implement plans for the provision of water service and wastewater service and contribute to the cost of increasing the city’s capacity to serve deliver service to new SP developments.
19 parcels, totaling 78.48± acres, area proposed to be amended to SP include the following:
• Ten smaller properties, totaling 14.78± acres, owned by the Tryon family will be joined with adjacent large expanses of land already designated as SP. These smaller properties would become part of the overall master planning effort for the Tryon Ranch under a Special/Specific Plan. (Figure 17) • Five relatively small properties, totaling 1.6± acres, owned by Jo Jo Properties will be joined with adjacent acreages totaling 6.8± acres already designated as SP. These smaller properties will become part of the overall master planning effort for development at the NE corner of SR 4/49 and combines properties essential for master planning ingress/egress for the adjacent larger SP parcels. (Figure 18)
• Three medium-to-large parcels, totaling 52.3± acres owned by the Folendorf family will be joined with adjacent properties already designated as SP allowing for master planning the family’s holdings. • One 9.8± acre parcel owned by Mr. Umberger not adjacent, but in close proximity to another parcel under the same ownership will allow for master planning both parcels.

Figure 17: Tryon Special Planning Proposed Parcels
General Plan Amendments - 26
The Tryon parcels (Figure 17) are adjacent to existing general plan land Special Planning designated parcels except for the two most southerly parcels which abut the county. The landowner anticipates submitting a request to annex those parcels under this ownership to the City and designate those parcels also as Special Planning. Based on the stated purpose of the SP land use designation to: “SP also includes large tracts of land under single ownership where the landowner has indicated future plans for a mixed use development with an integrated design,” the parcels are well-suited to the SP land use designation and may be found consistent with the general plan.

The parcels are proposed for rezoning to Special Planning. Pursuant to General Plan Land Use Table 1-5, the Special Planning zoning district is consistent with the Special Planning General Plan land use designation.

Therefore, the amendment may be found consistent with the zoning code.

The Jo Jo Parcels (Figure 18) are located adjacent to parcels designated under the general plan as Special Planning (SP) due to their location in the highly visible SR 4/SR 49 corridor and intersection where ingress and egress and visual quality are of high importance. The identified parcels were secured by the same parcel owner after adoption of General Plan 2020 allowing the opportunity to combine the parcels into an integrated master planned development. Based on the state purpose of the SP land use designation to: “Encourage unique developments with compatible mixed uses and an integrated design compatible with the physical characteristics of the property,” the parcels are well-suited to the SP land use designation and may be found consistent with the general plan.

Therefore, the amendment may be found consistent with the zoning code.

The Folendorf and Umberger parcels (Figure 19) are located adjacent to other parcels designated as SP under the general. Based on the stated purpose of the SP land use designation to: “SP also includes large tracts of land under single ownership where the landowner has indicated future plans for a mixed use development with an integrated design,” the parcels are well-suited to the SP land use designation and may be found consistent with the general plan.

Therefore, the amendment may be found consistent with the zoning code.

High Density Residential (HDR)
The purposes and intent of the High Density Residential (HDR) general plan land use designation are:

To provide for a variety of housing needs at all income levels throughout the city at a higher density than allowed in other residential districts. While single-family and two-family dwellings may be allowed, the High Density Residential designation is intended primarily for triplexes, apartments, dwelling groups, condominiums and townhouses, senior housing projects, and multi-family dwellings. Grouped or clustered single-family dwellings, including small lot (cottage) development also is appropriate. Cooperative housing developments and Tri-Level Living Communities also are encouraged on lands designated as High Density Residential.

HDR lands generally will be located close to commercial or other services and near major streets and thoroughfares for convenient access. HDR developments typically will be located throughout the city and not concentrated in a single location.

Figure 19: Umberger, Folendorf General Plan Amendments

General Plan Amendments - 29
HDR Development Standards include:
 Fifteen dwelling units per gross acre density. Higher densities are possible through density bonuses granted for the provision of affordable housing for households of low or very low income in accordance with the general plan.
 Maximum impervious surfaces: 60%. Maximum impervious surfaces 70% for Cottage Residential zoning7 only. Impervious surfaces totaling up to 75% are permitted for projects providing housing for low or very low income households in accordance with the general plan.  A minimum of 20% landscaping is required for this land use. Landscaping may be reduced to 15% with the provision of housing for low or very low income households in accordance with the general plan.  For parcels adjoining or visible from highways, arterials or collectors, project design shall accommodate the provision of street trees.

Fifteen parcels, totaling 20.5± acres are proposed to be amended to HDR as follows:
• Seven parcels, totaling 1.38± acres, bounded by Monte Verda and Stockton Roads adjacent to a mixed use area of multi-family residential, public uses (school bus parking), and quasi-industrial uses (Figure 20). The cluster to be re-designated HDR are all occupied by homes. One parcel is a mobilehome park. The parcels are currently designated as Business Attraction and Expansion; however, landowners have requested remaining under a residential designation and indicate their intentions to remain residential.

Given the purpose of the HDR land use designation: “To provide for a variety of housing needs at all income levels throughout the city at a higher density than allowed in other residential districts”, the location of the parcels next to other HDR land uses (across Stockton Road), proximity to commercial and other services and near major streets, the proposed amendments are consistent with the general plan.
• Four parcels, totaling 12.28± acres along Lee Lane adjacent to Bret Harte High School (Figure 21). All are currently designated as either Business Attraction and Expansion or Community Commercial; however, the landowners have requested remaining under a residential designation and indicate their intentions to remain residential. All of the parcels currently include residences. All parcels are currently zoned Multi-Family Residential (R-3), inconsistent with their existing general plan land use designations.

Two parcels off Murphys Grade Road totaling 6.34± acres, and designated as Business Attraction and Expansion (Figure 21). The landowners have requested remaining under a residential designation and indicate their intentions to remain residential. Both parcels currently include residences. Given the purposes of the HDR land use designation: “To provide for a variety of housing needs at all income levels throughout the city at a higher density than allowed in other residential districts”, the location of the parcels next to other HDR land uses, and the proximity of lands owned by Columbia College where housing would be an appropriate use; the proposed amendments are consistent with the general plan.

General Plan Amendments - 30
• One parcel totaling 0.17± acre at the boundary between Business Attraction and Expansion (BAE) designated parcels and High Density Residential parcels (Figure 21). Given the size of the parcel and the surrounding residential uses, it is more appropriate to residential uses. The parcel is entirely surrounded by HDR except for one side which is BAE. No effective use of a parcel this size for BAE uses are likely. However, as part of an overall HDR development, the added acreage could be useful.

Based on the location and size of the property and adjacent land uses, this amendment is consistent with the general plan.
• One parcel totaling 0.33± acre located at 612 Stanislaus with existing apartments (Figure 22), but currently carrying a general plan land use designation of single-family residential (a clerical error). The designation of an existing apartment complex to single-family residential (SFR) was a clerical error.

The existing use, expected to remain an apartment complex, is more suited to the higher density allowed under the HDR general plan land use designation. Therefore, this amendment is consistent with the general plan.

All of the preceding parcels will be rezoned to Multi-Family Residential, except those owned by the Lees which currently already are zoned Multi-Family Residential (R-3). Pursuant to General Plan Land Use Table 1-5, the Multi-Family Residential zoning district (R-3) is consistent with the High Density Residential General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the amendment may be found consistent with the zoning code.

Public & Quasi Public (P)/Right-of-Way (ROW)
The purpose and intents of this general plan land use designation are:

To accommodate both public and quasi-public uses for those agencies that serve as their own Lead Agency when
conducting environmental reviews (e.g., government buildings, schools, transportation facilities, public utilities,
special districts). To allow for public-private partnerships in the furtherance of General Plan goals, policies, and
programs.

Parcels with this land use designation generally include: government buildings, schools, transportation facilities, public utilities, special districts and similar uses. Public and quasi-public uses may be located throughout the city.

Design in this district follows the following standards:
• Maximum impervious surfaces: 75% or equal to requirements for adjoining land uses; whichever is less.
• A minimum 20% landscaping is required for this land use. • For parcels adjoining or visible from highways, arterials or collectors, project design shall accommodate the
provision of street trees.

Four parcels totaling 2.59± acres are proposed for amendment to P as follows:
• One owned by Caltrans
• Two owned by the City of Angels
• One owned by the Altaville Sanitary District
The surrounding land uses are identified in Figures 23 and 24. Based on the public ownership of all of the parcels and the stated use of the parcels as intended to identify publicly owned parcels or those owned by special districts, the proposed amendments are consistent with the general plan.

All of the preceding parcels will be rezoned to Public/Quasi Public (P). Pursuant to General Plan Land Use Table 1-5, the P zoning district is consistent with the Public (P) General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the amendments may be found consistent with the zoning code. Note: Public is consistent with all general plan land use designations. The preceding parcels are being amended primarily for clerical purposes.

General
The proposed amendments also will assist in implementing the following general plan program:

The citywide rezoning necessary to bring parcels into compliance with the general plan resulted in changes triggering the need for refinements to the general plan for consistency and, in this case, most are in response General Plan Amendments - 35
to landowner requests. As described above, the proposed amendments are consistent with the general plan as necessary to bring them into compliance with the Angels Municipal Code as part of the Citywide rezoning.

General Plan Amendments - 36
Figure 24: City of Angels Public GPAs
General Plan Amendments - 37
Finding C: The proposed changes or amendments will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.

All parcels undergoing amendments are either already developed (high density residential amendments), will be subject to a future Specific Plan (Special Planning amendments) requiring extensive public review, are publicly owned or owned by a special district outside the scope of City control (Public), are clerical in nature (SingleFamily Residential amendments) or is being accomplished for consistency with the surrounding neighborhood (Residential Estate amendment) Therefore, the proposed amendments will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City and Finding C can be made.

FINDING D: The proposed general plan amendment is consistent with General Plan 2020 Program 1.A.d Guidelines for General Plan Amendments
General Plan 2020 Program 1.A.d directs that guidelines be established for evaluating general plan land use amendments for overall consistency of the proposal with the goals, objectives and policies of General Plan 2020 including, but not limited to:
a. Physical, social, or economic factors that were not considered at the time of general plan adoption, and the evaluation of the proposal based on the new information New information (new ownership) affected the proposed changes to Special Planning for some parcels (Jo Jo Properties) and Altaville Cemetery District. These factors were not considered at the time of general plan adoption and are new information. However, given the limited nature of these minor changes, there are no identified physical, social or economic factors that were not considered at the time of general plan 2020 adoption in 2009 that alters the findings and recommendations of the general plan as it pertains to the proposed amendments as a result of that new information. Therefore, this finding can be made. b. Existing reasonable alternative sites in the vicinity that are planned for the use and can accommodate the proposal
Many of the proposed sites will retain their existing uses. Most vacant land under these amendments will be subject to Specific Plans which will undergo extensive public review in the future which will evaluate whether or not the sites can accommodate the proposals made. This guideline primarily was intended to address specific development proposals and is inapplicable to this evaluation. c. The potential for the proposal to adversely affect community character Except for the proposed amendments to Public, all amendments generally are bounded by general plan land use designations that are the same as those being proposed. This would ensure that similar uses occur adjacent to each other. As noted previously, Special Planning designations require a Specific Plan and extensive public input prior to development and community character would be evaluated at the time of development. Therefore this finding can be made.
d. The effect of the proposal on the fiscal health of the city Those properties identified for amendment to Special Planning are expected to result in master-planned mixed use developments that positively impact the fiscal health of the city. Some of the designations are being pursued for the express purpose of facilitating developments expected to enhance tax revenues for the city. Public designations are generally revenue neutral (property taxes generally are not generated by publicly owned property). As noted throughout, most of the HDR proposed designations are on property already occupied by housing and are expected to be revenue neutral. Therefore, this finding can be made.

General Plan Amendments - 38
Based on all of the preceding, Finding D can be made.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:

Total acreage undergoing a general plan amendment is 4.6% of total city acreage (108.6 acres) and 1.7% of total parcels (41 parcels). This is considered a less than significant change.

In addition, given that most of the HDR amendment sites already are developed with homes (i.e., impacts already are existing and were evaluated) and that Special Planning amendment sites are adjacent to parcels that already anticipated undertaking a master-planned proposals, the bulk of the proposed changes are substantially the same as those already evaluated under the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

Therefore, pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed revision to the City’s General Plan is exempt from further review, because the impacts associated with the proposed land use designations are either equivalent or less than those evaluated under the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) adopted for the 2020 General Plan. Therefore, the project is consistent with, and is within the scope of, the certified General Plan EIR for General Plan 2020.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 Citywide Rezoning - 1
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: City of Angels City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: ORDINANCE 532 REZONING 320± PARCELS AS IDENTIFIED FOR CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN 2020 (1st Reading)
RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce, waive the first reading, hold a public hearing, and schedule July 18, 2023, for a second reading to rezone 320± parcels for consistency with General Plan 2020.

BACKGROUND:

In order to develop an individual parcel fully under its designated zoning district; that zoning district must be consistent with the parcel’s general plan land use designation. The City adopted General Plan 2020 on February 3, 2009, establishing a general plan land use map designating general land uses for all parcels.

Since that time, the City has undertaken multiple municipal code updates to create new zoning districts (e.g., Business Attraction and Expansion, Special Planning) and update existing zoning districts for consistency with General Plan 2020.

Generally, those parcels shown in Figure 1 have zoning incompatible with their general plan land use designation. Using SB2 grant funds, the City is undertaking this citywide rezoning to bring zoning on all parcels into compliance with the General Plan 2020 land use map.

Commencing in March 2023, the City mailed individual notices to most property owners shown in Figure 1 proposing a rezoning consistent with the General Plan 2020 land use map. Owners were given until May 19, 2023, to return a form agreeing to the proposed zoning district or proposing an alternative, contact the Planning Department, attend one of two Open Houses at Fire Station 1 (April 13, 2023, and May 11, 2023), meet individually with the City Planner, or have the City Planner attend a group meeting at the subdivision to discuss the proposed rezonings. Notices returned as undeliverable were hand-delivered to the landowner’s home where possible. 27 forms were returned. All returned forms either indicated agreement with the proposed rezoning or proposed an alternative zoning district that was accepted by both the city and the landowner through follow-up contact. Only one mailed notification was undeliverable.

For a limited number of landowners not receiving mailed notices (those with large land holdings or multiple parcels yet to be rezoned), the City planner set up one-on-one meetings and provided individual maps.

Twelve persons attended the open houses representing 8 landowners. To date (6/6/20), no opposition to any proposed rezonings have been received. The Planning Commission considered the item at its June 8, 2023, meeting . The results of that meeting will be reported to the City Council on June 20, 2023.

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code Section 17.90.040, decisions pertaining to rezonings shall be made upon the following findings of fact:

A. The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels Municipal Code and B. The proposed change or amendment is consistent with the City of Angels General Plan The proposed rezonings all are being undertaken to bring parcels into compliance with the City of Angels General Plan 2020. Pursuant to Table 1-5 of the General Plan, all proposed rezonings are consistent with the general plan. All zoning districts were created and revised for compatibility with General Plan 2020 prior to this rezoning. Therefore, these findings can be made.

C. The proposed change or amendment will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the city.

Because all rezonings are being undertaken to bring parcels into compliance with the City of Angels General Plan 2020 and General Plan 2020 was adopted with a finding that its adoption would not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the city; this finding can be made.

Finally, General Plan 2020 The proposed amendments will implement the following general plan program:

This citywide rezoning following the comprehensive update of the Angels Municipal Code will bring parcels into compliance with the general plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:

Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed rezonings are exempt from further review, because they are being undertaken for consistency with General Plan 2020; therefore, impacts associated with the proposed zonings were evaluated under the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) adopted for the 2020 General Plan. Therefore, the project is consistent with, and is within the scope of, the certified General Plan EIR for General Plan 2020.

In addition, the proposed rezonings are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 21083.3(e) which states that where a general plan is the basis for application of CEQA, any rezoning action consistent with the general plan shall be exempt where the following apply: As used in this section, “community plan” means a part of the general plan of a city or county which (1) applies to a defined geographic portion of the total area included in the general plan, (2) complies with Article 5 (commencing with Section 65300) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code by including or referencing each of the mandatory elements specified in Section 65302 of the Government Code, and (3) contains specific development policies adopted for the area included in the community plan and identifies measures to implement those policies, so that the policies which will apply to each parcel can be determined. All of the preceding apply to General Plan 2020 and the Angels Camp Municipal Code Title 17.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 Fixed Building Permit Fees- 1
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: City of Angels City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: RESOLUTION 23-53 ESTABLISHING FIXED FEES FOR CERTAIN BUILDING PROJECTS INCLUDING REROOFS, WATER HEATERS, HVAC CHANGE-OUTS, RESIDENTIAL ROOF-MOUNTED SOLAR, FIRE SPRINKLERS, GENERATORS, GENERATORS WITH PROPANE; AND DOUBLING BUILDING FEES FOR WORK

INITIATED BEFORE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 23-53.

BACKGROUND:

The City is working to increase efficiency in the permitting process by adding certain “over-the-counter” permits. As the name implies, such permits allow contractors and/or owner/builders to apply at the City and receive a “while you wait” issuance for the most basic building projects (e.g., re-roofs). For slightly more complicated projects requiring a short plan review, existing city staff will review and issue within the same or next day.

To assist in expediting issuance and predictability, staff proposes a fixed fee for certain building projects (Attachment A).

This allows all staff members to inform builders of the exact fee for certain small building projects (currently, such permits require use of specialized software to estimate costs based on project valuation resulting in variable fees).

The fixed fees proposed herein are based on the average of the actual costs for the same permits issued in 2022 and through May 2023 and a comparison of those costs with the City of Sonora and Calaveras County (Attachment B).

Residentialsolar permit fees are now established by the State of California. The attached schedule will reflect these statemandated residential solar permit fees.

Lastly, staff proposes doubling building permit fees for building without a permit.

Generally, once a builder is found building without a permit; the resulting review process increases both staff hours and builder frustration with increased time necessary to correct actions already taken. Currently, those undertaking construction without a permit are issued a “stop work” order and are required to submit an application for a building permit. They are charged the same cost as those contractors and owner/builders who obtain permits prior to building.

This provides a disincentive to those “following the rules” and an incentive to those who do not.

The proposed “fixed fees” are as follows and will be added to the City’s updated fee schedule after 30 days of adoption, if the resolution is approved:

Language to be added to the fee schedule for all building permits (not only those with fixed fees) shall state:
“Pursuant to City of Angels Resolution 23-53, anyone found building without a required building permit shall be charged twice the regular fee required for issuance of a building permit. Impact mitigation fees, capital improvement fees for water and sewer, and school fees, are excluded from double penalty fees.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:

The proposed project is statutorily exempt from the state and City of Angels guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act because the fees cover the costs of issuing building permits. Building permits are ministerial projects pursuant to Section 15286 of the California Environmental Quality Act.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The amounts charged cover the actual costs for staff to issue the identified permits. Therefore, no fiscal impacts are anticipated.

AND TRAFFIC IMPACT MITIGATION FEES
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize a 23/24 FY annual adjustment of the City’s Impact Mitigation Fees (for fire, parks, police, and traffic impact fees) by the California Construction Cost Index (CCCI) five-year average (2018-2022) of 6.08% instead of using 2022’s high annual index of 9.3%.

CCCI Five Year Average:
2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 Average

9.30% 13.40% 2.80% 3.60% 1.30% 6.08%
BACKGROUND:

Every July 1st, impact mitigation fees for police, fire, parks and traffic are adjusted annually in accordance with the prior year’s annual CCCI pursuant to the Angels Municipal Code Sections 3.24.010(A) and

12.18.105. The basis for the annual adjustments is found in 2016 nexus studies prepared for these impact mitigation fees.

Last year, the annual adjustment for impact mitigation fees was 4.9% on a five-year average. In the CCCI’s history, the highest ever annual adjustment was 13.4% 2021. The large increase is attributed to the rising cost of construction materials and supply chain issues.

DISCUSSION:

Given the potential adverse impacts to new development of a 9.3% impact mitigation fee increase associated with the highest of these fees, staff recommends using the CCCI’s five year average of 6.08% for the annual 2023/24 FY fee adjustment.

Other City fees (e.g., application fees) are adjusted annually using the federal annual Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) and are not affected by this proposal.

Water and Sewer fees AMC Section 14.20.010(b) and AMC Section 13.20.010 address modifications to water and sewer capital/connection fees. These sections do not provide guidance or a basis for making annual fee adjustments.

Long Range Planning Impact Fees Annual adjustments to the Long-Range Planning Impact Fee will be the subject of an upcoming code amendment.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City could lose 3.22% of potential impact mitigation fees collected for FY 2023/24 for fire, parks, police, and transportation. Conversely, a 9.3% impact mitigation fee increase on traffic impact mitigation fees, in particular, could discourage new development projects from moving forward, or even eliminate some planned projects resulting in an overall decrease in income in all fee categories and in new development.

2 Final Budget 2023-24
DATE: June 20, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON THE FY 2023-24 PROPOSED BUDGET

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the 2023-24 Fiscal Year Budget and Capital Improvement Plan with Resolution 23-56.

Approve the 2023-24 Position Control List with Resolution 23-56.

BACKGROUND
The City is required to have a budget adopted no later than June 30, 2023, to take effect on July 1, 2023. The City Administrator brought forward a proposed budget on June 6, 2023.

DISCUSSION
The budget includes a focus on investment in staffing, equipment, and projects to address deferred maintenance that spans over a decade while embracing work efforts that will be resource-light in an effort to do more with what we have in terms of staffing levels.

General Fund
The General Fund is the city’s largest operational fund. This fund provides funding for most of the city departments and a majority of core services including public safety, streets, and roads.

Departments or functions under the General Fund are City Council, Administration, Finance, City Attorney, Community Services, Police, Fire, Streets and Roads, Parks, Building/Code/Planning, and Engineering.
3 Final Budget 2023-24
Per the General Fund Financial Policy 300.011, the reserve is to be set at:

Unrestricted Minimum: 20% of GF Expenditures or $1,192,306 (of the proposed 2023-24 Budget) Economic Stability: 10% of GF Expenditures or $596,153 (of the proposed 2023-24 Budget) This would be a total of $1,792,459. The current General Fund unaudited Fund Balance is $4,300,000.

This would leave just over $2.5 million that can be used as investments into capital, projects, etc.

Based on a conservative financial outlook, 2023-24 would use $756k of working capital (fund balance) for significant investments in one-time costs. Future years assume the same level of operations with a conservative increase in both revenues and expenditures. However, no significant increases in taxes or grants have been contemplated, leaving room for significant growth opportunities in both areas.

Additionally, the City Administrator is working with ACBA and the County Realtors Association to identify additional funding opportunities to address some of the costs, that would further free up ARPA funds for additional economic development opportunities.

Notable operating expense increases are an increase to Code Compliance of $25,000 annually to a total of $45,000. This will allow the City to continue moving through the backlog of violations, and with the change of Officer, we will get more hours for the price.

Lastly, Public Works will be focusing on a road management plan, for the first time in nearly a 20-year history.

Special Revenue and Capital Funds
Special revenue funds are restricted funding sources that are designated for highly specific purposes.

Several of the City fees, gas taxes, grants, and designated TOT funds are held in these funds and transferred to offset expenditures in General Fund departments. Transfer happens ONLY after confirmation of actual expense and approval of expenditure alignment to the funding source. The estimated fund balance is $3.8 million. Sources are estimated to be $688,000 with uses estimated to be $2.3 million. This will leave funds at $2.2 million.

Debt Funds
The city has two debt service funds to address Water and Sewer Long Term Debt. ALL current debt has such low interest, it makes little to no sense to refinance or pay off currently. 5 Final Budget 2023-24
Enterprise Funds
The City maintains its Water and Sewer functions. Each of those is a distinct enterprise and must be accounted for separately. The most current rate structure is intended to increase rates for Operations and Maintenance in addition to capital funding.

It has been ten years since doing the City Water and Wastewater Masterplan. In order to properly identify the current system constraints and needs, an updated Wastewater Master Plan is needed, and a Water Model update is required. Both will be increases in engineering costs in both budgets, respectively.

There are two types of capital projects that pertain to Water and Sewer:
• Repair and Rehabilitation of existing infrastructure
• Expansion of facilities and infrastructure to “expand” capacity or connections.

Repair and Rehabilitation are funded from rate revenues. These revenues have been accumulating in the operating funds for Water and Sewer and only a portion was transferred annually, based on a budget amount. The budgeted amount to transfer was based on the Capital budgeted each year, and what was ultimately expended. However, the accumulation of capital should be transferred to the extent that the bulk of the fund balance is in the respective Capital Funds for Water and Sewer and the remaining fund balance is sufficient to meet the best practice reserve balance in the operational funds.

Between Water ($2.9 million) and Sewer ($3.4 million), there is just over $6.3 million in estimated fund balance. This budget focuses on the Water and Wastewater CIP that was contemplated and approved as part of the rate study.

UWPA Consideration
UWPA has requested contributing members to fund them at a level of $290,000 plus $40,000 for the Water agreement paid from the Water O&M fund and the pass-thru collections from ratepayers.

The rate study overstates the receipt of UWPA from ratepayers. To ensure we have sufficient reserves for that gap and to alleviate large swings in UWPA requested contributions from hitting the ratepayers all at once. The recommendation is to continue to bill based on water year 3 and retain any overages as a UWPA Reserve for the future.
6 Final Budget 2023-24
The table above shows the increases that have occurred in salaries and benefits as well as the overall budget for UWPA and these are growing.

Per the current rate study, the required UWPA Contribution for 2023-24 was $455,908. This is $166k less than the proposed contribution. This will allow the City to accumulate reserves for future years should there be additional drought impacts which would grossly impact the conveyance subsidies from hydropower revenue.

The City must do a new rate study and is requesting Council to include a full fiscal review of UWPA to ensure that Council has the total impacts that the Rate Payers would feel if all costs were borne by them. The RFP should be issued in July 2023 and is estimated to cost $60,000.

Final Remarks
The 2023-24 budget represents a stronger financial outlook than what had occurred in the last several years. The pandemic prevented much by the way of projecting growth due to the unknowns. I would like to thank Council for the guidance, the staff for their dedication, and thank the community for its resiliency and patience as we all worked to figure out these last two years!

City Council
City Officials (1000)
City Officials budget represent the City Council in addition to costs associated with the meetings, employee appreciation, and citywide governance support/memberships.

Stipends
The stipends are paid to each Councilmember per City Meeting, in addition to mandated taxes and workers’ compensation. The amount of the stipends is limited per state code and it was decided several Councils ago to eliminate health, dental, and vision insurance as a cost-savings measure for the City.

Open Meetings
The County Public Access TV videographer attends the City Council meetings in addition the City uses Microsoft Teams to allow remote public access to the meetings.

Employee Appreciation
The City has an annual employee dinner to bring all staff and Council together and recognize and show support for them. This last year, the dinner was held at the Museum and was a wonderful turnout.

Changes in this budget include:
• Moving the League of CalCities to this budget instead of Finance. This membership focuses on governance and legislative coordination and is more in line with the actions of the Council. • Increasing IT services to move Council from paper to IT. This change will actually save the Finance Department thousands of dollars per year in staff and supply costs. 22 Final Budget 2023-24

City Attorney
City Attorney (1500)
The City Attorney budget represents the costs for the contracted City Attorney. The staff has worked hard to limit the costs of the contract by limiting the in-person requirements to only those that are needed, based on discussions with the lead attorney from Agenda reviews. Additionally, to avoid duplication of opinions, those opinions are being filed for staff use in the future to not request a similar opinion in coming years.

The cost of the attorney is also allocated as part of the city costs allocation plan. This ensures that the enterprise funds are being contemplated in the water and wastewater costs for purposes of the rate plan.

City Engineer
City Engineering (2000)
The City Engineering budget is for the city, not public projects. This is generally citywide engineering plans and complex grant assistance. Examples are engineering needs on parks, city facilities, speed survey, pavement management, sign replacement project, disaster damages.

Historically, BOTH public and private costs would be posted here and some at the Building/Planning Budget, making it very difficult to untangle. Staff are working to align fees/deposits with the costs and ensure that there is a line between them.

Changes in the budget:
• Reducing the Project Engineering to limit only City driven projects reduction of $12,360 • Invest in a City Circulation plan for Foundry Lane $100,000 with funding to be pulled from the General Fund Project fund
• Add a line item for Transportation grant assistance. Grants from the Department of Transportation have considerable obstacles to finding, applying, and getting. These prompt additional contracting requirements and one misstep can mean deobligation (losing the funding). Staff would work with Dewberry to focus on certain elements of grants that will assist projects such as the Angels Creek Trail, Major Collector Road projects, circulation projects as well as realignment projects. 25 Final Budget 2023-24
Finance and Administration
Finance (3000)
The Finance Department includes Human Resources, Payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Accounting, and Treasury. This budget also operates as a “non-departmental” accumulator of all general fund discretionary revenues that includes property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy tax (TOT), franchise fees, etc.

Revenue Outlook
Tax-related revenues are projected to grow by about 4%. While fears of a recession have continued all year, the reality is we have a backlog of unrealized property tax transfers and new builds that will be adding to our property 6/30/22

tax totals. We also underbudgeted the TOT for 2022/23 because we believed there would be a reduction in stays that just didn’t occur. In fact, staff are working on getting more compliance for property managers which is helping to ensure collections.

With the wind-down of the GHC AD, our Admin charges will reduce, allowing staff to focus on other accounting functions.

The big win is the City’s decision to change banks. This change has netted a 10 times increase to what was budgeted. Additionally, we are working to capture even more yield by better managing our pooled treasury by contemplating cashflow and moving the funds that don’t require immediate access to a longer, but still liquid duration option that will provide for higher returns.

Community Support
Community Support (3002)
This budget includes the City’s economic development budget and the contribution to the Museum operations.

Based on several meetings with the Angels Camp Business Association appointees, talking with local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, the Calaveras Visitors Bureau, the County Economic Development Director, and the Council, this budget includes several projects and investments that would align perfectly with the City Strategic Plan while making the best use of the ARPA – COVID funds, General Fund Contribution, and TOT.

Projects for ED
Economic Development is the creation of wealth from which community benefits are realized. It is an investment in growing our economy and enhancing the prosperity and quality of life for all residents.

The City can use up to $212,000 of ARPA funds that require to be obligated by 2024 (not spent).

Downtown Benches
The current benches downtown prevent accessibility, and are in failing shape, and requesting the business owners to replace them will prove difficult. To ensure that all of the benches meet standards, staff have worked with a vendor to find a solution to bring forward to the Planning Commission, with the idea that owners could purchase them. The cost would be prohibitive to already struggling businesses. The total cost for 12 benches would be $28,000 and would provide benches for all downtown use, enhancing the city’s appearance (Tier 1).

Plaque Project
For several years, Angels Camp Business Association have had plans to create plaques commemorating all the downtown buildings in their “heyday”. Due to lack of funding, lack of time, etc., that project never came to be.

Staff has been meeting and discussing this project as a way to enhance the city’s economic vitality and promote economic opportunities (both Tier 1) by creating a walking “trail” to follow these plaques. The original plan was to have buildings that are no longer standing also be included. However, the staff’s recommendation is to focus on current buildings, bring the plan forward to the Planning Commission to approve the concept drawings, and move ahead with engraving and placement. This cost would be $20,000.

Hop N’ Shop – Next Round
The Hop N’ Shop program was very successful and we have heard nothing but positive takeaways from businesses.

While some shoppers really wanted to have gas, stations included, or the ability to pay their utility bills, the program is to aid local businesses by incentivizing shoppers to shop here in Angels. It wasn’t created to be a residential assistance program, there were several programs for that and very little for businesses.

The recommendation is to prompt another run with $35,000 into the program.

Business Grants
Downtown, specifically, has struggled post-COVID. We have empty window fronts that have no want or desire to rent and these vacancies make those that are filled struggle to get feet on the street. To help these businesses, the idea is to offer expansion and enhancement grants to qualifying businesses. Staff would work to build a comprehensive program with Council input that will include various approved uses, the application process, the review panel, and the award process.

Recommended uses could be equipment replacement, interior/exterior updates, one-time employee incentives for businesses that are struggling to find or retain help, etc.

The recommended budget is $95,000 and this hits Tier 1 for ED.

Downtown Window Project
While staff is working on policies to bring back to Council that will incentivize vacant owners to rent, the empty window fronts are a discouraging view for visitors and cause passer buyers to not stop. Staff has met with the Museum and Gateway Press to discuss options for working with building owners to cover windows with historical images and contact information for potential tenants. At the very least this gives visitors something to look at while they walk downtown and ensures that open businesses get visited. The images would still be transparent enough for law enforcement to monitor but opaque enough to have historical imagery and a story to read. 32 Final Budget 2023-24
The cost estimate is $25,000 and aligns with Tier 1 Enhancing the City’s Appearance.

Frog Hop of Fame
It was an annual tradition that the winner of the frog jump would get a plaque on the Hop of Fame (Downtown Sidewalks). This stopped during COVID, and has not occurred again. The vendor who has the mold is unreachable.

Staff have identified another vendor but will need to have a new mold made and the City need sot address how to limit liability and risk on the existing plaques before adding any new ones. The creation of a new mold will be $2500 and the cost to have the plaque made and installed is another $950 per plaque. The budget to catch up is $5,350 and there would be an annual cost for staff to reapply for anti-slip treatment to the plaques to prevent falls.

The other option would be to look at using engraved bricks/steps instead and placing them at Utica Park as part of a new exhibit that can be added indefinitely for less cost and less risk.

Downtown Lights
The Holiday swags are end-of-life. They were purchased years ago and have finally hit their final days. To ensure that the Downtown gets dressed up to promote visitation, staff are recommending purchasing new lighting strands for across-highway placement. Due to Caltrans rules, there are limitations on certain colors. Staff would identify a few options within the budget and bring forward to the Planning Commission for selection and approval.

Special Event Program
Finally, the Special Event Program was added to the 2022-23 budget and will be a fixture in the 2023/24 Budget.

This year staff will be promoting, as discussed an updated and easier-to-use application. $25,000 Strategic Planning Alignment

Building and Planning
Building and Planning (4000)
This budget includes 1 fulltime employee, a contracted Planning Director, a contracted Building Official, Code Compliance, and Engineering costs for applicants (development and builders).

The Building Fees should fully offset the costs of providing the plan check, inspections, and administrative oversight. Planning fees do not, and this is very common across all agencies. Planning associated with development ties the agency to look at public infrastructure to ensure that the impacts associated with that development can be handled with existing resources or prompt a development agreement to help mitigate some of those costs now and into the future. Because of that, planning costs will have a general fund cost.

This budget includes a significant general fund contribution because many of the fees for some of the projects were paid in 2022/23 and are included in the General Fund equity (cash carry).

Projects Worth Noting
• Habitat for Humanity is ramping up.
• Foundry Lane is entering an initial study phase
• MACT museum is moving forward with a groundbreaking in June • Utica Hotel continues.
• Evacuation Assessment
• Wayfinding Sign Project
• Parking and EV grant research and development

Changes in the budget:

• Staff are recommending increasing Code Compliance from $20,000 to $45,000 (Tier 1 Public Safety)
o The plan has always been to start with the more senior Officer to help establish the program and then move to a lower-level Officer as the primary allowing us to gain more hours for the same costs or less.
o With this change we will get XX hours or the equivalent of XX days for the year. • The City has received several requests for annexation. To do this, we would have several tasks required in order to bring forward to Council and ultimately the LAFCO Board. Staff are recommending $80,000 to facilitate this with funds coming from the GF Projects Fund. (Tier 1 Conservation and Open Space and Public Facilities and Services) 36 Final Budget 2023-24

Fire Department
Fire Department (6000)
The Fire Department operates with one part-time Fire Chief, one Deputy Fire Chief, and four fire staff. Recall three positions were added to the 2021/22 fiscal year budget. The department has also been using a contract for service with the Altaville Melones Fire District, three “permanent” part-time staff, and a handful of extra-hire staff.

Many calls are for lift assists and a significant number of those are specifically for the assisted living facility – Foothill Village. The staff has been directed to begin discussions with the management there as to how to limit the call for service that is occurring, by staffing appropriately and/or amending their own policies and insurance coverage to permit those services to be funded with the rents collected by the occupants. At this point, the calls, being taxpayer funded could be construed as a gift of public funds.

Personnel Change
As noted above, the department has relied on fixed part-time personnel. Per labor law, an employee who is regularly scheduled becomes a “permanent” employee and while not represented by the Union does have legal rights to the position that they have been holding. Additionally, the City policy dictates that only the City Council can approve permanent part-time employee positions. To ensure that 1) the positions are identified as part of the City classification schedule and 2) we are adhering to policy and best practices, the recommendation is to add these positions to the personnel schedule, while remaining part-time.

This would create three positions fixed as two Firefighters and one Fire Captain. The Department will continue to rely on an extra-hire budget to fill voids in scheduling and will cease the Altaville Melones contract.

The Fire Chief and City Administrator will continue to discuss scheduling options to reduce the overall costs while ensuring proper coverage for the community.

Additionally, as Public Works has been down four staff, the Fire staff has been tasked with assisting in vegetation management on City property and helping with public outreach during emergencies by distributing fliers.

Measure A – Fire Tax
The public initiative, Measure A, is gathering signatures again to be placed on the March 2024 ballot. They will need to secure 2,124 valid signatures to make that happen and are currently in the process of campaigning to get them. The City Administrator did meet with Dana Nichols to discuss concerns over the measure, including negative impacts on the City’s appropriation limit, inability to raise taxes for the City’s overall public Safety needs in the future, and concerns over the lack of long-term planning for capital investment and employee benefit liabilities.

Nevertheless, the measure is continuing. Discussion with Council will be planned as to how to handle the impacts should it pass and what that means to the City overall.

Recall, the initiative, if approved would increase the County Sales Tax by 1%. Given the City is currently collecting

0.5% as a City Tax, shoppers in the City pay 7.75%. If approved that rate would go up to 8.75%, while the rest of the County will pay 8.25%. The silver lining is the City of Sonora did approve a City Tax, bringing them up to 8.75%, while Tuolumne County remains at 7.25%. With that said, there is less risk of revenue leakage to Sonora, as they would be at the same rate. The difference is that Sonora retains that 2.5% for operations while the City of Angels only retains 1.5% for its same operations.

Police
Police Department (6100)
The Police Department was on the fringe of needing to contract for services from the County due to significant turnover and the inability to recruit and retain staff. Staff morale was down and long-time existing staff were likely to move to other agencies. Under the direction of the City Council, the City Administrator, Police Chief, and Police staff met and identified changes that would secure our existing staff and set the department up to be able to recruit qualified employees and retain them once again.

While increased compensation was the main shift, it was also the recognition from Council by investing in a multiyear contract that would not allow these positions to fall behind again. Staff agreed to this multi-year investment.

While not receiving all the equity adjustment in year one, they see the commitment of the Council and Management and we recognize their commitment to our community.

The department is now fully staffed and within a matter of months will be out of training mode on our newest staff. The calls range from domestic abuse to theft and everything in between. Now that the department has full staffing, the focus for this year will be on more public outreach, building more efficient and effective processes, and having more time to discuss and help plan needs within the community when new development, parks, etc. are being contemplated.

Addressing Technology
The department is currently working with outdated technology that doesn’t permit the in-field officers to take reports that would automatically update the necessary systems. Instead, once they get back to the office, they spend hours entering this information into the RIMS system. Administrative staff also are using antiquated systems that require dual entry across multiple systems.

Sunridge RIMS
An investment in updating the RIMS system will allow for real-time reports in the field, allowing administrative staff to immediately have access to that information and move the reports more effectively through the process.

The server is housed at the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office, where their staff handles the officer’s MDT (Mobile Data Terminal) system in their patrol cars. The upgrade requires the replacement of servers in their data center for our information as well as upgrading the software.

AXON
RIMS CAD transfers basic RIMS CAD Incident information to the Axon body camera system.  Using the Officer/Unit ID, the interface correlates CAD events by:
- Automating basic incident information entry for every recording - Improving data accuracy with complete, correct info
- Increasing officer efficiency after each recorded call This investment would allow body camera and vehicle information to be automatically tied to a report to make investigations and prosecution more efficient.

ALPR – Auto License Plate Reader
This will be funded with a Homeland Security grant and automatically reads license plates that are identified in the various databases “hotlists”, then notify Officers of a match. This is helpful in a range of crimes that have happened. Only law enforcement has access to the system. There must be a criminal case or incident number to have a plate added to the databases. There would require to be a lawful purpose with a need to know and a right to know the information.

The lawful purposes required for users to access the system are:
• 1. Locate Stolen, Wanted, or Suspect Vehicles.
• 2. Locate Suspect(s) of Criminal Investigation or Arrest Warrant. • 3. Locate Witnesses or Victims of Violent Crime.
• 4. Locate Missing Children and Elderly individuals (Amber / Silver Alerts). • 5. Protect the Public during Special Events / Situational Awareness. 6. Protect Critical Infrastructure.

Focus on Officer Wellness
The City has invested in Cordico. This is a wellness program for high-stress professions. The City has long had access to EAP (Employee Assistance Programs) and that will continue. However, the critical calls that many officers attend can be quite alarming to most and have lasting impacts on their mental health. As a small city, we are not immune to suicide, horrific domestic abuse, child abuse, batteries, and murder occurring within our city limits. Our Police will be the ones that respond and attend to those calls. It is important to support our staff to limit and mitigate the lasting impacts that can occur if not addressed.

The City Police Department was also the recipient of an Officer Wellness grant that will allow the purchase of gym equipment to keep them in peak shape. Additionally, studies show that exercise has benefits for mental health.

Revenue Considerations
With the completion of the speed survey, the Officers can now start citing drivers for violation of our speed limits.

One note is that the City gets very little revenue for these citations. However, the City IS the County Parking Enforcement. Interesting as that is, we do reap the biggest benefits from parking citations. There has been a lot of discussion on limiting parking downtown, near Mark Twain Elementary, and other areas around the City.

Engineering, the Police Chief, the City Administrator, and the point of contact for those requesting or benefiting from these changes will be meeting to discuss and bring forward to Council when a vetted plan is identified. This would have the ability to increase revenues for the Department.

Public Works
Public Works (7010)
The Public Works Department services the Parks, roadside vegetation management, local road repairs, non-LLD streetlights, sidewalk maintenance, and all city facility maintenance. Staff have vigorous daily line of site reviews of potential risks to the public, including hazard trees, unreported water or sewer leaks, road damages, hydrant damages, water tampering, USAs from residents, contractors, and other utilities, dead animal removal along our roadways, trash collection, and bathroom and facility cleaning and maintenance.

Focusing on Efficiencies and Road Repairs
Per the 2019 Angels Camp Pavement Management Implementation Study, the recommendation was to focus on the roads that are rated above fair to maximize the dollars that are received annually. To date, no road repairs have been made in alignment with the plan.
78% of the City roads are residential, which are the least funded.

The recommendation was to focus on PCI (Rating system) greater than 70, which would be rated in “Good” Condition. 56% of the city roads are rated between 70-100, with 47.7% being in residential and 8.3% classified as collectors (which has some grant funding availability).

The basis for the focus on “Good” roads is the cost to keep them in good condition is much lower than trying to take that $100,000 and pay for full repairs on a fair, poor, and failed road. 51 Final Budget 2023-24
The recommendation in the 2023/24 budget is to focus on crack-sealing all the designated roads in the plan, while we look for additional funding for slurry/micro seal equipment. The crack sealing will prevent further deterioration and water penetration while we identify equipment for the next project phase. The report is based on contracted work costs.

Focusing on building efficiency within our own staffing will allow the City to get closer to making an annual dent in the required preventative maintenance on our road system. Where there is a broader need for more of a full rebuild on a road, staff will work on a funding plan for those.

Additionally, a dig once procedure will be focused on. If a water or sewer line needs to be replaced, then the pavement, that was considered to be maintained will occur at the same time.

Obstacles
The first issue is that the City does not own any equipment to do any of the recommended road repairs, primarily crack seal, slurry, and micro seal. The city is required to pay the prevailing wage for contract work, which is over double the cost of existing staff. To maximize the revenues received of approximately $100,000 from Gas Tax, the recommendation is to apply for RMRA funding in the amount of $212,000 to pay for much-needed road repair equipment.

Staff currently spend 4 hours per week (2 employees) mowing and weed-eating the park and facility grounds. This equates to 430 hours per year, or, $18,000 per year. Additionally, staff must address vegetation management along all roadways. This includes 3-4 staff, spending several weeks, in addition to contracting with CCC crews (when available) to clear vegetation. This is an additional cost of $15,000-$20,000 per year.

Investment in a boom mower that would allow a singular staff person to do all of the mowing, and vegetation management while costing $150,000 upfront, pay for itself by freeing up staff to focus on road work projects in addition to protecting the roadways against fire danger. The equipment is also capable of allowing additional attachments for tree trimming (another significant cost we have been experiencing), ditch clearing, etc.

The useful life of this equipment is about 10,000 hours or in our case 10 years. This is an annualized cost of $15,000, compared to the $38,000 we are spending today.

Parks
The city owns three parks and one island (Clifton). Analysis of the water and wastewater charges has identified that the meters are oversized for the needs. The staff has worked with the building inspector to ensure that downsizing will not have any adverse impacts and that the savings associated with the parks will be $15,300 per year.

Clifton Island, while not an official park has been costing the City $3,600 for water and $3,000 for staff maintenance per year. This island would be eliminated with the proposed round-a-bout. Staff are looking for Council recommendations as to what to do with the island in the meantime to save the City $6,600 per year.

Drought scape, cease watering, and allow to mow to ground? 52 Final Budget 2023-24
Public Bathrooms
The City does not have adequate access to public bathrooms. The Museum has been acting as one, while they are open. The Pickled Porch acts as another for downtown but is only open during normal business hours (Closed M, T, and one month per year). Utica Park has been the final option for public access to bathrooms and those will be closed while construction occurs.

Staff are recommending a discussion on the Pickled Porch bathrooms to be available seven days per week 7am7pm to align with the downtown businesses. This discussion can occur as part of the lease renewal forthcoming.

Energy
The city is charged with non-LLD lighting. Staff recommends looking at grant funding for energy-efficient lighting and operations. This could include LED light changes, changing appliances to energy-efficient options when they require replacement, etc.

Focus on Safety
To ensure that the City is doing what we can lower liability costs, staff will be focusing on training and safety protocols this year. This includes outfitting vehicles with necessary lighting, safety equipment, and bringing inhouse trainers for education. Additionally, the staff is working from available education and training as part of our pool to train staff and management. This will help line staff be better prepared and protected and also help management better support their staff.

Enterprise Budgets
Sewer O&M 2022-23 Budget
Wastewater Department (300-8000)
The Wastewater Department will be operating in the last year of the five-year rate plan. The rate plan identified 14 projects, totaling $6.8 million in costs, and included four projects to be addressed through the initial five-year period. Due to turnover within the department, turnover at City Hall, and changes in Council, these projects, while still identified were not moved to the necessary stages to be completed. The 2022/23 budget year focused on getting them all back on track and an energized focus by Engineering and staff.

Capital Projects
These projects have all been listed on the CIP for Wastewater with dedicated funding/outlay in 2023/24 and subsequent years (in short order) so that the remaining projects from the ten-year plan can be contemplated in the next rate study.

In addition to the identified projects in the rate study, the latest winter storms shed light on several areas of concern that will need to be addressed. At the peak of the storm, the wastewater plant was treating 4 million gallons of mainly stormwater. The Superintendent slept at the plant and was onsite for multiple 24-hour periods to ensure that we didn’t spill raw, untreated water, all while communicating with engineers and the State in case we had no choice. This was a preventable disaster by merely identifying and replacing faulty sewer lines throughout our system and raising the manholes above flood-stage levels.

One important note s that in order to start planning for sewer line replacements, smoke testing is required. Staff is working with the State to identify a vendor to demo the equipment and train staff on the use. With that equipment, staff will begin working on outreach in the areas being tested to ensure the public is aware that smoke does not mean fire.

Rate Study
A new rate study is required to be in place prior to July 1, 2024. This would need to kick off in the fall of 2023 to meet that timeline. The last rate study was $54,000, split between Water and Wastewater. This budget includes the final 4% increase in Sewer Rates.

Staffing
The City continues to be understaffed/underqualified in both Water and Wastewater, with the Public Works Superintendent as the only operator licensed to operate both plants. The Chief Plant Operator position has been vacant and while staff has tried to underfill the position to train Operators in Training (OIT) to one day meet the requirements, they have continued to leave once they have enough certifications to qualify for lesser positions with far more pay. The City cannot grow any more without increasing capacity for both water and wastewater and that will required more licenses and certification requirements on staff.

Currently, the Superintendent is required to operate BOTH plants should the one Plant Operator III (that we do have) is out due to vacation or illness. This is an unsustainable staffing plan and will ultimately require a change in the City’s current staffing plan or require contracting out to meet requirements.

Staff Safety
The City is focused on staff safety to mitigate workers’ compensation claims and injuries that cause staffing shortages. Additionally, we want our staff to be healthy and happy at work and an emphasis on safety and 57 Final Budget 2023-24
wellness is paramount to make that happen. Staff and management will be engaging in education and training to align with this focus.

Changes in this budget include:
• 4% increase in rate revenues (per the five-year rate plan) • Interest revenue increase of $100,000 due to banking change • Staffing sways dependent on need. The budget will be set based on a perfect scenario of Public Works, Water, and Sewer staffing to augment Wastewater needs. However, the actual use of those staff occurs as is required. 2022/23 included a lot of emergency staffing costs well above budget and focusing more on Wastewater and Water. The 2023/24 budget aligns staffing costs with projected staffing costs as planned.
• $25,000 to do an updated Masterplan (currently ten years old) • The costs allocation increase to fund Finance and Legal has increased due to increases in insurance costs and recognizing that some Finance staff spend as much as 50% of their time doing Customer Service for Water and Wastewater.
• Electricity is increasing due to rate increases. Staff will be looking at equipment that is at the end of life and identifying more energy-efficient options that will help make operations more efficient. • Increase tools and equipment to plan ahead for repairs and safety • Increase building maintenance, looking for energy efficient solutions • $30,000 for ½ of the rate consultant
• Increase computer to purchase tablets for staff in the field to better address service calls, infrastructure maintenance, and scheduling.
• Fees were getting paid out of various funds. All funds are either water or sewer and are operational, not capital costs. This budget adjustment is correcting that. • PLC need to be replaced (this is ONE), there will be others to be added to the capital plan • Tractors for biosolids are needed. The one we have is out of service and not repairable. 58 Final Budget 2023-24

Water O&M 2023-24 Budget
Water Department (350-8001)
The Water Department will be operating in the last year of the five-year rate plan. The rate plan identified 22 projects, totaling $14.1 million in costs, and included four projects to be addressed through the initial five-year period. Due to turnover within the department, turnover at City Hall, and changes in Council, these projects, while still identified were not moved to the necessary stages to be completed. The 2022/23 budget year focused on getting them all back on track and an energized focus by Engineering and staff.

Capital Projects
These projects have all been listed on the CIP for Water with dedicated funding/outlay in 2023/24 and subsequent years (in short order) so that the remaining projects from the ten-year plan can be contemplated in the next rate study. The water model is ten years old. $10,000 is budgeted to update the model to current infrastructure and needs.

Water Transmission Main Augmentation Program 165,000
WTP Backwash Improvements 4,000,000
WTP Filter Replacement Expansion 3,500,000
Water System Replacement Phase 1 125,000
Water System Replacement Phase 2 390,000
AMI Project 860,000
Water Line Replacements 125,000
Rate Study
A new rate study is required to be in place prior to July 1, 2024. This would need to kick off in the fall of 2023 to meet that timeline. The last rate study was $54,000, split between Water and Wastewater. This budget includes the final 8% increase in Water Rates.

Staffing
The City continues to be understaffed in both Water and Wastewater, with the Public Works Superintendent as the only operator licensed to operate both plants. The Chief Plant Operator position has been vacant and while staff has tried to underfill the position to train Operators in Training (OIT) to one day meet the requirements, they have continued to leave once they have enough certifications to qualify for lesser positions with far more pay.

Staff Safety
The City is focused on staff safety to mitigate workers’ compensation claims and injuries that cause staffing shortages. Additionally, we want our staff to be healthy and happy at work and an emphasis on safety and wellness is paramount to make that happen. Staff and management will be engaging in education and training to align with this focus.

Working Smarter
The AMI project would eliminate the need for manual meter reading, which takes all staff (across all divisions) to perform once per month for several days. Direction was given to staff to stop buying manual read meters and identify AMI meters that can be selected for an annual swap project that would eliminate the manual reading. This will be done in phases, focusing on routes that can be read automatically by a drive-by of one staff in a matter of minutes per street, instead of minutes per meter. This frees up staff to focus on water line replacements, sewer line replacements, and road projects.

This department includes a portion of ALL Public Works staff, the Public Works Superintendent, and two operators.

Changes in this budget include:
• 8% increase in rate revenues (per the five-year rate plan) • Interest revenue increase of $50,000 due to banking change • Staffing sways dependent on need. The budget will be set based on a perfect scenario of Public Works, Water, and Sewer staffing to augment Wastewater needs. However, the actual use of those staff occurs as is required. 2022/23 included a lot of emergency staffing costs well above budget and focusing more on Wastewater and Water. The 2023/24 budget aligns staffing costs with projected staffing costs as planned.
• The costs allocation increase to fund Finance and Legal has increased due to increases in insurance costs and recognizing that some Finance staff spend as much as 50% of their time doing Customer Service for Water and Wastewater.
• Electricity is increasing due to rate increases. Staff will be looking at equipment that is at the end of life and identifying more energy-efficient options that will help make operations more efficient. • Increase tools and equipment to plan ahead for repairs and safety • Increase equipment maintenance, looking for energy efficient solutions • $30,000 for ½ of the rate consultant
• Increase computer to purchase tablets for staff in the field to better address service calls, infrastructure maintenance, and scheduling.
• Fees were getting paid out of various funds. All funds are either water or sewer and are operational, not capital costs. This budget adjustment is correcting that. 63 Final Budget 2023-24

Position Allocation
The most notable change is the addition of three part-time permanent positions. These positions have been working a fixed schedule in the Fire Department. Per the City policy, City Council may approve extra-help/temporary appointments (Section 9.12). The Fire Department does use some extra-hire positions and they do not have a fixed schedule.

Regular Part-Time Appointments (Section 9.13) The Fire Department has required permanent part-time employees to be regularly scheduled.

Resolution 96-06 included both sections and an amendment to the resolution is included for adoption.

3. To maintain and enhance the sound fiscal condition of the City.

B. Budget Administration

1. The City will strive to adopt a balanced budget by June 30 preceding the budget period. A balanced budget means that operating revenues must fully cover operating expenditures, including debt service, as set forth in B.6. below. A balanced budget allows for total expenditures to exceed revenues; however, beginning fund balance and strategic reserve funds can only be used to fund capital improvement projects or other one-time, non-recurring expenditures, as set forth in B.10. below.

2. The City will prepare a budget calendar no later than the 1 st City Council meeting of February preceding the
budget period.

3. The City will use a budget development process that emphasizes long-range planning and effective program management. The process will:
a. Reinforce the importance of long-range planning in managing the City's fiscal affairs. b. Focus on developing and budgeting for the accomplishment of significant goals. c. Establish realistic timeframes for achieving goals.
d. Create a proactive budget that provides for stable operations and assures the City's long-term fiscal health.
e. Promote orderly spending patterns.

4. During the budget development process,the existing budget will be thoroughly examined to assure removal or reduction of any services or programs that could be eliminated or reduced in cost.

5. The City will avoid budgetary and accounting procedures that balance the current budget at the expense of future budgets.

6. The City will strive to support current operating expenditures, including debt service, with current revenues.

9. The City Council will review and amend appropriations, if necessary, on a periodic, ongoing basis.

10. The City will strive to preserve the spending of fund balance and strategic reserve funds for capital improvement projects, or other one-time, non-recurring expenditures.

11. Unspent, unencumbered operating and capital improvement program appropriations will lapse at the end of the budget period. Requests for lapsed program appropriations may be resubmitted for inclusion in the subsequent budget period. Unspent but encumbered appropriations at the end of the budget period shall 68 Final Budget 2023-24
amend the budget of the subsequent period by means of a budget amendment approved by the City Council.

C. General Revenue Management

1. The City will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to protect it from short-term fluctuations in any one revenue source.

2. The City will have the goal to emphasize and facilitate long-range financial planning; the City will have the goal to maintain current projections of revenues for the succeeding five years.

3. Because revenues, especially those of the General Fund, are sensitive to both local and regional economic conditions, revenue estimates adopted by the City Council must be conservative.

4. The City will annually review the General Fund operating position (revenues less expenditures) to determine if funds are available to operate and maintain future capital facilities. If funding is not available for operations and maintenance expenses, the City will evaluate all viable options.

5. User fees will be reviewed and updated on a periodic basis to recover the full cost of services provided, except when the City Council determines that a subsidy from the General Fund is within the cost recovery policy adopted by the Council. The City will strive to establish a master fee schedule that will encompass all fees and charges of the City.

6. Any transfers between funds for operating purposes shall be clearly set forth in the Adopted Budget. These operating transfers, under which financial resources are transferred from one fund to another, are distinctly different from interfund borrowings, which are usually made for temporary cash flow reasons and are not intended to result in a transfer of financial resources by the end of the fiscal year. From time to time, interfund borrowings may be appropriate but are subject to the following criteria:
a. The Finance Director is authorized to approve temporary interfund borrowings for cash flow purposes whenever the cash shortfall is expected to be resolved within 60 days. The most common use of interfund borrowing under this circumstance is for grant programs where costs are incurred before drawdowns are initiated and received.
b. Any other interfund borrowings for cash flow or other purposes require approval by the City Council.

D. Utility Rates and Fees

1. The City will set utility rates and user fees at levels that fully recover the total direct and indirect costs of the activity. Indirect costs include the costs of operations, capital outlay, debt service and annual depreciation of capital assets.

1. The City will identify the estimated costs, potential funding sources, and project schedule for each capital project proposal in the CIP before it is submitted to the City Council for approval.

2. The City will coordinate the development of the CIP with the development of the operating budget.

Additionally, a fund balance of 25 percent is considered the minimum level necessary to maintain the City's credit worthiness.

TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: AMEND RESOLUTION 96-06 AND ADOPT RESOLUTION 23-57 FOR PERSONNEL POLICY SECTIONS 9.12 AND 9.13
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 23-57, amending Resolution 96-06 Section 9.12 and 9.13 BACKGROUND:

The City relies on extra hires and part-time permanent employees for day-to-day operations. It has been the practice to just recruit and fill, based on budget with no position, and in some cases no salary grade.

DISCUSSION:

The City has a severely outdated personnel policy that has not been adhered to. The practice of using extra-hires has not been as problematic, except when no salary grade is available. The practice of hiring part-time permanent employees has more risk implications.

To ensure that departments can still rely on a very necessary staffing tool for their day-to-day operations, the recommendation is to fully amend Section 9.12 to address Extra-Hires and Section 9.13 to address Part-Time Permanent appointments.

NEW Section 9.12 would read:

Section 9.12 EXTRA-HIRE APPOINTMENTS.

A. The City Administrator may approve extra-hire appointments dependent on available budget within a department.

B. No special credit shall be awarded in any examination or the establishment of any employment list for services rendered under an extra-hire appointment.

C. An extra-hire appointment will be made from an employment list if one is established.

D. An extra-hire employee is not a permanent appointment and if eventually hired as a regular employee, shall not receive credit for any purpose for the time employed as a extra-hire employee.

E. No benefits SHALL be granted to any employee serving in an extra-hire appointment.

F. An extra-hire employee serves at-will and may be removed at any time without the right of appeal or hearing.

G. An extra-hire employee will be paid at Step 1 of an adopted salary schedule for the classification H. An extra-hire appointment must meet all minimum qualifications of the classification, as adopted by City Council.

NEW Section 9.13 would read:

Section 9.13 REGULAR PART-TIME APPOINTMENTS.

A regular part-time appointment may be made to an existing position, as established by City Council when there is parttime work to be performed on a continuous basis.

A. A part-time appointment will be made from an employment list.

B. A part-time employee is not a permanent appointment and if eventually hired as a regular employee, shall not receive credit for any purpose for the time employed as a part-time employee.

C. No benefits SHALL be granted to any employee serving in an extra-hire appointment, unless required by law.

D. A part-time employee serves at-will and may be removed at any time without the right of appeal or hearing.

E. A part-time employee will be paid according to and adopted salary schedule for the classification they are appointed to.

F. A part-time appointment must meet all minimum qualifications of the classification, as adopted by City Council.
